I’ve only just discovered this wonderful artist and loved reading your blog. Do you know what type of pastels she used? Thanks

In reply to rowena. Oh Rowena, I couldn't put it better myself! And I too yearn to see her works face-to-face. There's nothing like seeing the real thing!

My heart pounds when I see her landscapes, it really does! – absolutely love them and would love to see the originals x The colours, movements, energy, marks, emotions and gentleness too, move me so much.

Thank you so much for the article!

In reply to John Taylor. Thanks for your comment John - happy you found my blog post! I am a HUGE fan of Joan Eardley. I am sure you also saw the post I did on her tenement kids. I look forward to the day when I can be close and personal with her work - a visit to Scotland should do it. So far I've only been able to access reproductions. And not to worry, I got that book as soon as it was released!! I want EVERYONE to know about her work!

I’ve just come across this blog on Joan Eardley which I was very surprised but delighted to find. As someone who lives on the outskirts of Glasgow, and a frequent visitor to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum in the city, Joan Eardley is very well known to me and held in high regard in Scotland and beyond. You may be interested in a book that came out late 2016 called “Joan Eardley, A Sense of Place” and was compiled and published by The National Galleries of Scotland. It is available on Amazon.

I know, that’s such a huge question – where would her work have taken her. And if she’d lived longer, I am sure she’d be revered by many more people! Still, she’s gaining her place now in the painting world.

Gail, no but I’ll check it out, though I have a book on Eardley with paintings of the kids. When I first saw them I wasn’t sure but after looking at photos of those children I think she honestly captured them. Such a shame Eardley had such a short life, image what she would have done with a long career.

In reply to Mark Brockman. Hi Mark, Lovely to meet another lover of Joan Eardley work! The images came from Gallery and the book by Christopher Andreae as noted at the end of the blog. Did you also see my blog on the tenement kids?

Just came across your blog on Joan Eardley. I discovered her about the same time you did. Love her work. Being a pastel artist myself it was nice to see so many of Earley’s pastels. Just where di you find them? I’ve been looking for samples of her pastels and came across only few. Thanks.
