Description: Two lovely watercolors signed and painted by Australian artist Pat Moran. They were framed in my town of Lewisburg at a gallery that existed in the 70's. The frames are in great condition and are Adirondack wood frames, themselves collectible although from another period. The flowers are predominantly blue and yellow lilies. There is another flower I can't identify. They are titled, "Bouquet", and are signed by the artist. These will be shipped in a double walled box or otherwise if requested.

She was joint Winner of the coveted Alice Bale Overseas Study Award in 1982 which enabled her to study and paint in England and Europe, and she won numerous awards including Camberwell Rotary Art Prizes along with 2 Gold medals. In the 1980's Patricia tutored in portraiture at the Victorian Artists Society,[3] Her passion to teach and encourage beginner artists led her to write instructive magazine articles for Artist magazines incl. The Australian Artist. These were followed by her first book “Painting The Beauty Of Flowers With Oils" published in 1991 which sold worldwide[4] and was used as a textbook in Art Colleges, and by teachers of art and students alike. In 2000, she authored the book “The Oil Painter's Ultimate Flower & Portrait Companion”.[5] Selected paintings of Patricia's were produced as prints and sold through Felix Rosensteil's Widow & Son Ltd, London. Her paintings have been featured in decor magazines including Vogue Living (2016). Her final accomplishment was producing a set of teaching DVDs 'Learn Classic Oil Painting with Patricia Moran' which are still available. Patricia's early work covered landscapes, portraits and still life, but her speciality was painting flowers in oils.
