MASTERPIECE PAINTING PORTFOLIO

Kathryn Rutherford, owner of the Heirloom Art Studio, is a highly trained, award-winning fine artist who excels in the creation of original oil, watercolour and digital paintings and portraits.

A Masterpiece Painting is either a full brush oil painting or a highly detailed watercolour painting that is masterfully created as an original work of fine art. It is an entirely original, freehand painting commissioned as a unique, one of a kind, original work of art created for the individual needs of the customer. A Masterpiece Painting captures a lasting memory of any kind be it a cherished person, place, event or thing.

Masterpiece Paintings are traditionally portraits or creative landscapes, but, they can also be a one of a kind, original "Spirit Painting".
Kathryn Rutherford is well-known for creating her Spirit Paintings which are inventive story-telling portraits in oil that evoke emotions, bring to mind a forgotten time, view lost loved ones or links to someone's history or ancestors.

Each of the four main compass directions has historical, literary, symbolic, metaphysical and mythological associations.
These directions are also represented by a time of day, specific animals, birds, butterflies, plants, trees and more.
This series of paintings are not only a depiction of this information, but, each woman is a study in different fabric. Where one female wears evening satin or hot mid-day leathers, others are highlighted in chiffon by the early morning light or are caught in the evening drizzle and rain as the sun sets.
