Joan G Edwards - late works
​

​
​Joan Edwards continued to work in her studio, albeit less regularly, in the years either side of her ninetieth birthday. A number
of the works presented here were discovered in the studio in 2016, with no entry in the artist's record of completed paintings. There were a good many unfinished works, but several substantial and fully completed paintings had simply been put away and forgotten about. As is often the case with 'late' periods, at times she revisited earlier themes, producing new variants of existing works, but there is no diminution in the quality and others show an increase in adventurousness and diversity.

Winter Palm (undated)

gouache, 700 x 383 mm
the estate of J.G.Edwards
discovered December 2016

​

Provisionally given the above title because of the obvious relation to 'Autumn Palm', an examination of what at first sight could appear to be
a golden evening sky will reveal that this is anything but a lazy rehashing
of ​past work.

​
It can safely be said that this treatment of a pot plant on a windowsill
​could have been painted by no other artist.

Familiar compositional themes,
but a work one wishes she had completed.

Unfinished Journey (c. 2009 -2013)
gouache, 700 x 460 mm
collection of the artist

​
​
This is a work whose 'unfinished' state the artist decided to make
a part of its meaning, an ironic insistence that the journey was not and would never be over. It certainly has a different, m
ore recognisably 'late' style - a simplified language, with hints of Dufy perhaps and an echo of Nash in the treatment of the sun.
She selected it as the work to illustrate her 2014 Christmas card, dying a fortnight before this date.
