One of my early influences was Toulouse-Lautrec, a master of the Impression. I always loved the way he left the unimportant bits unfinished and concentrated on his focus of attention.

    I love the light in your work. It has a great ‘sketchy’ look and could quite well be pastel rather than oils. The results are perfect.

    Roz this is brilliant. I just love the way you have chosen to abbreviate the background. The subject matters literally jumps on the page. You have sculpted her onto the page. Fantastic result!

    How did I miss this first time around? The black stockings gives it a French Impressionist feel but you have brought it into the 21st century. One of the best nudes I’ve ever seen. Absolutely brilliant.

    Modern Venus

    She sits there, a modern Venus
    The seashell thrown to the tossing seas
    And to the viewer she is enticing
    And see seeks to seduce and tease
    And this modern Venus is waiting
    It seems for a man
    Eyes closed, as if she is dreaming
    Imagining if she can
    She is running through a field of flowers
    As when young, without a care
    And she had not the worries of the world
    That are on her shoulders there
    But in the coming moments
    She will think of them not
    In life’s hot passions she’ll enjoy
    Her worries will be forgot.

    Its a cool picture. Can I replicate it with the verse above with the appropiate credits and links?

  • Roz McQuillan replied

    Thanks so much, tomaso, absolutely, I’d be honoured!
