"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 .

It could be Eve walking out on Adam after a lovers’ tiff. Adam would be shouting, “hey, come back, you forgot your fig leaf” :) Seriously, very good painting; great imagination as always.

Alexandra Felgate
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
53 Barkly street
Mornington
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
I love the “voyuer” feel of this and you have so captured the night and depth. Great piece!
catherine walker replied
you’re right ..thankyou ..it does have that feeling of looking into something that we’re maybe not supposed to be peering into..hha!!
great ..!!
thanks again ..so glad that you like it.
xxxooo
Les Smutz
Or maybe we ARE supposed to…hmmm.
catherine walker replied
we MUST..be allowed to..hhhaaaa!!!

Les Smutz
And…well…it looks like we did! And came back for a better look! HHHHH. (silent snicker).

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.

i don’t know how i missed this one, it’s really special…i love the length, it works so well for the high arches, and gives this the feeling of sacred hidden temples in hidden gardens, a beautiful artwork from you Catherine….the colours are so beautifully placed….it’s easy to slip inside this painting and imagine the hidden rooms of the harem :)

Having another browse thru your work darl..this is utterly divine, It reminds me of home..wherever that is…I love your treatment, so much gentleness in your work…
catherine walker replied
You’re so sweet to say that sweet and kind..Thankyou!!
It’s strange you know..but Inside I have a lot of joy to find and share.. sometimes I am a well of overflowing happiness
but i the Joy is pretty deepdown… and it takes a lot for me to bring it to the surface..hha!!
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!!
love your comment..thanks again!!
It’s True I have the love in me..it’s just so hard to express that these days…glad you can find it in my work.
xxxoooo
Jewd
Oh Darlin, you’re funny, but I see your light, your work is FULL of it!! I know its pretty darn challenging times we live in hey and grumpy rears its head..but we plod on, those that plod are the ones with the light I reckon…sending joy.xxx
catherine walker
Thanks again ..you are such a sweet heart! hhha!!!!
challenge is a good word and you’re right..we plod on ..and it will all come good soon!!

smallfox
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.
catherine walker replied
wow..really ? you can see all that in this painting.
well thankyou very much
what a nice comment
I appreciate it very much.

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!!

Really love your work Catherine, and this painting caught my attention as I was looking around your gallery. It’s so loose and fresh and feels like it might be a Medieval work too. The light in this painting is magnificent. Congrats! TPS
catherine walker replied
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!
thanks again
much appreciated!

that’s great to know! You are descendants of some of the oldest people – the Phoenicians. : >D I’ve a friend who is Lebanese and he never ceases to entertain with his slant on life. Take care. Cheers! TPS
catherine walker replied
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!!!!!
