Hands On Table, Renee Il
Throughout his art career, Richard McWhannell has shown us life in suspended animation. The sense of stillness and relaxed familiarity that characterises his portraiture has its origins in his early landscape painting. In the early 1970s he spent time in Nelson with Toss Woollaston who encouraged him to abandon realism and paint his personal response to the landscape.
