Oil on canvas, cheap ed hardy 450 x 450mm
Marie Le Lievre's abstract form, included in her current exhibition at Christchurch's Brooke Gifford Gallery, glows like some lusciously ripe persimmon against its pale neutral background. The sensuous shape and colour is anchored by a delicate flowering of lilac paint and an austere dark base. The only other colour is two small dabs of azure blue peeking shyly over the left hand rim.
Paint is obviously a fuel, a delight and an inspiration for the Christchurch artist. Her abstracts are filled with colour and texture as she creates forms which are, in their own way, as beautiful as a Cezanne apple. These are literate paintings that speak directly to the viewer in a conversation which opens up new ideas, interpretations and visual pleasures.

COMEDIAN Ardal O'Hanlon has warned he could get away with a lot more these days in his stage show.
Replica Nike Shox Turbo ShoesThe Fr Ted star landed himself in hot water after telling a joke that was branded racist in 2001.
'We all gave to the black babies when were in school but we never thought Cheap MARLBORO cigarettes they would come over 30 years later and thank us personally," he infamously said. "I think that yes I could get away with that line now, in fact we can get away with just about anything now as the TV show The Savage Eye has proved.

NEIL Alexander today admitted he was stunned as referee Craig Thomson reduced Rangers to nine men with two red cards in the Co-op Insurance Cup Final.
The Ibrox club's treble dream looked to be turning into a nightmare after Kevin Thomson and rookie defender Danny Wilson were sent packing with the scores level
But Alexander also reckons St Mirren defender Jack Ross was also lucky not to see red after an off-the-ball clash that left the Rangers keeper needing medical treatment
However, that challenge went completely unpunished by whistler Thomson.
And the Scotland player reckons the game could have been totally different if the Saints defender had received the same treatment as Thomson and Wilson.
replica breitling watchesHe said: "I thought the challenge on me merited a punishment. He caught me an absolute cracker, but the referee makes his decision and it never went for us.
"It was nothing serious and I was always going to continue after it. I was glad that I did."
He reflected: "I thought both sending-off decisions were a bit harsh, but the referee had made up his mind so there is no point arguing about it.
"I felt sorry for Danny especially. He was really solid in defence, as the whole back four were. At his red card, I thought Davie Weir was covering, but Danny will learn from it.
"It won't set him back at all. In fact, I think he will be a far stronger person from the whole experience and for playing in the cup final."
The former Cardiff and Ipswich goalie admitted he feared the deadlock would only be broken by penalties as the match seemed to be heading for a goalless stalemate.
replica hublot watches"I can't remember playing in a game where we were so poor," he admitted.
"Credit to St Mirren, they were the better team for the whole game. They were unlucky. At one stage during the game I was thinking: 'Can we hang on for penalties?'
"I thought that was the only way we were going to win the match. Then Kenny Miller popped up with the winner in probably our only serious attack of the whole match.
"It was a fantastic header from Kenny and it has got us out of jail. It showed great character that, when things aren't going well, we dig in and get a result.
"It was a major step in hopefully securing the Treble."

"But I have to give the manager a lot of thanks. He has been loyal and showed faith in me. It was tough to go into the match cold, but I was pleased with how I played."
Now Alexander is eyeing up a long-term stay at Ibrox as speculation continues to swirl over McGregor's future.
