When the Blue Evening Slowly Falls

Frank Bramley was an English Post-Impressionist painter who specialized in interiors and worked on combining natural and artificial light in his paintings. He was the pioneer of the “square-brush technique.” In this technique he used the flat of a square brush to lay the paint on the canvas in a jigsaw pattern of brush strokes, giving a particular vibrancy to the paint surface.

The woman in the painting is thought to be Bramley’s wife, Katherine Graham, who was also an artist. She is probably sitting in the chair in their house at Orchard Cottage, which at the time was called Belle Vue Cottage.

P.S. What does Katherine see out the window? A snowy landscape? Join her and look at those beautiful wintry views.  <3
