CHRISTOPHER OSBORNE
Christopher Osborne grew up in
Margate, Kent and worked in engineering, before becoming a professional
artist in 1974.
He is self-taught and his
fine oil paintings display a sensitive observation of the quiet countryside,
its moods, seasons and weather.
He believes that worthwhile painting is founded on acute observation and a
developing craftsmanship. When the weather allows, he works on site as
this develops a good feel for the subject.
For ten years he lived in
East Anglia and was much influenced by the sweeping skies and open landscape. However, his love of the Downs, Weald and marshes of the south led
him to East Sussex where he lives with his wife and family.
A series of limited edition prints of Sussex are now available and his work
is printed on greetings cards and calendars. He has exhibited with the Royal
Institute and his paintings are in private collections in Great Britain, the
USA and many other countries.
