Well known West Australian artist Bob Booth will launch his latest exhibition at the margaret river gallery on October 4 at 6pm.
The exhibition, titled The Unfinished Painter, will run until October 18.
Booth has a painterly style and is best described as a figurative, gestural colourist.
His considerable versatility is evident in his very varied choice of subject matter.
Over the last five or six years, he has painted predominately land and sea scapes, often featuring parrots and cows. More recently his work has included city scapes, portraiture, some still life and a few nudes.
To date, he uses oils more than acrylics and favors heavy application of thick textured paint on the canvas.
He said he has distilled his aim to simply wanting to paint better, hence the title.
