"For the Sultans eyes only "

catherine walker

"For the Sultans eyes only "

I think that this one will be great For the resturant
Gods kitchen.. the theme is perfect for that resturant.

Acrylic and inks on stretched canvas 1992
called for the sultans eyes only ..I imagined a secret and royal type middle eastern setting .. and that one of the sultans harem girls had wandered out into maybe a forbidden zone.. there are only certain rooms that the harem girls can go into. ..and certain places not..
to me this is a real east meets west painting
In my blood runs some middle eastern (lebanese) on my mothers side plus european (scottish and irish )blood on my fathers side ..
some of my work has a real middle eastern
theme or flavour and this is one of them.

$950 au size: 60 and 1/2 cm by 90 cm
This painting has been SOLD..thankyou for your interest .

    This has a lovely soft sensual feel to it.
    Is the restaurant Gods Kitchen on the Mornington Peninsula??? I have very vague recollections…

  • catherine walker replied

    Thankyou so much..glad you like it..
    and yes it’s a farly new place ..if you ever pass that way ..drop in
    it used to be a church and they revamped it into a resturant/pub..a lovely place and I will take some pics the next time I’m there.
    Gods Kitchen

  • Alexandra Felgate

    Alexandra Felgate

    Ahhh, I see. I lived and worked on the peninsula for a couple of years, absolutely divine area to live in and Mornington has some of the best eating places!! (Albert Street was awesome, but only ate there once…$$$$)

  • catherine walker replied

    Good one Alexandra..Lucky you .. I think It’s a gorgeous area..
    not that I’ve been there too many times..I loved the Gods kitchen place..very welcoming owners and I like the idea that it was once a church ..a bit of holiness and blessings on my work never goes astray…hhha!!!!!!!

  • Les Smutz

    She could be Scherazade, about to begin her next story. The blues and perspective of this are dreamy and right out of the realms of ancient fable.

  • catherine walker replied

    so romantic..!!

    that’s great helena..thanks so much and I look forward to seeing your new work.

    I come across as a slightly bombastic loud mothed deep voiced sad faced grumpy wretch …..so it’s good to know that my paintings can show a glimpse of my inner beauty ..hhha!!

    The composition of this is marvelous – the woman looks so small against the immensity of the arch and surrounding scenery so that she is swallowed up in this enormous but still self-contained world. Beautiful colours, too.

    I agree but you would need to recreate this on the wall of the resturant. It would need to take up the entire wall to do the artwork justice!!

    very kind of you to comment on this one..thankyou so much
    I’m so pleased that you like it.

    this one I feel certain is influenced by my mothers side of the family who were all middle eastern..they were lebanese..and when we were growing up we were lucky enough to have expereinced that wonderful middle eastern hospitality and craziness too..hha!!...some lebanese runs in my blood and it comes out in a few of my paintings.
    some kind of romantisiced parts of that culture.. that I can’t help but try to envision and paint what’s in my head..hha!

    yes the old phonecians..the ancient traders and they bartered a lot..
    I told my youngest son that that’s why he barters everything he owns..it’s in his blood !..although he wouldn’t have made a great trader at all..he sells off all his stuff for less that he purchased it for..hhhhhhaaaa!!!

    yes they’re a funny mob of people..my muns family just crack us up with their strange ways..but they are so so funny and hospitable when it comes to FOOD..food being the almighty thing next to GOD..hhhha!!!!!
