Nick Carding As soon as I saw her, I called her Rafaela…she is beautiful and as inscrutable as the Mona Lisa and as secretive as are all the women in my portraits…it is an uncommon name and I have no idea why it came into my head, but I think it suits her…I can’t stop looking at her…what is she hiding?

/ The Story in Your Eyes I’ve been thinking about our fortune / And Ive decided that we’re really not to blame / For the love thats deep inside us now / Is still the same / And the sounds we make together / Is the music to the story in your eyes / Its been shining down upon me now / I realize. The Moody Blues / Here I Pray The angels come / on the dark wings of night, / it is of you they sing, / in and around and through / cauldron of dreams, / twisted shadows, / broken schemes, / tormenting night / darkening day, / dropped and abandoned / here I pray. s.k.lindeman Thank you so much

Many birds and the beating of wings / Make a flinging reckless hum / In the early morning at the rocks / Above the blue pool / Where the gray shadows swim lazy. / In your blue eyes, O reckless child, / I saw today many little wild wishes, / Eager as the great morning....Margaret, by Carl Sandburg Watercolour on Archess Not Paper…a few from the series of 26 can be seen below… / The Story in Your Eyes / Catherine Earnshaw / Beatrice / Rafaela / Autumn / Bathsheba / Katharine / Sylvia
“Sadie” is is the latest portrait in the “Significant Faces” collection…the name Sadie was very popular at the turn of the 20th century, however when I finished the painting and took a good long look at her I also saw Miss Lemon the efficient secretary to Hercule Poirot…in fact I almost called her Miss Lemon…but she is Sadie…Sadie from the 1920s Watercolour on Arches Not Paper / Margaret / The Story in Your Eyes / Catherine Earnshaw / Beatrice / Rafaela / Autumn / Bathsheba / Katharine / Sylvia

/ Sadie Thank you so much
“Francesca da Rimini” was the the daughter of Guido da Polenta, lord of Ravenna….Dante made her a character in the Divine Comedy…throughout history, there have been numerous plays, operas, paintings and symphonies created in her name….I am also called Francesca and now I too have created a painting in her’s and my name... I must reiterate what I said at the beginning, that the portraits in this series are not meant to be taken at face value…they are not simply pictures of women’s faces, but represent aspects of life…that is, seasons, changes, ideas, thoughts and beliefs of mine and society as a whole…every image is planned very carefully with the eyes as the main focal point…colours of the skin, make-up, hair etc. are all significant…they all mean something…they all tell a story Watercolour on Arches Not Paper You came in out of the night / And there were flowers in your hand, / Now you will come out of a confusion of people, / Out of a turmoil of speech about you. I who have seen you amid the primal things / Was angry when they spoke your name / IN ordinary places. / I would that the cool waves might flow over my mind, / And that the world should dry as a dead leaf, / Or as a dandelion see-pod and be swept away, / So that I might find you again, / Alone. Francesca by Ezra Pound / Annabel / Sadie / Margaret / The Story in Your Eyes / Catherine Earnshaw / Beatrice / Rafaela / Autumn / Bathsheba / Katharine / Sylvia
“Flavia”, like all the women in my portraits, exemplifies Angelou’s “Phenomenal Woman”...she is the 30th in the series, and I moved away slightly away from my usual style, portraying her a liitle more realistically…more like a photo, but still a undoubtedly a painting…as always it’s Watercolour on Arches Not Paper CLICK HERE VIEW VIDEO…CLICK IT TWICE Phenomenal woman, / That’s me. Now you understand / Just why my head’s not bowed. / I don’t shout or jump about / Or have to talk real loud. / When you see me passing / It ought to make you proud. / I say, / It’s in the click of my heels, / The bend of my hair, / the palm of my hand, / The need of my care, / ‘Cause I’m a woman / Phenomenally. / Phenomenal woman, / That’s me. excerpt…M Angelou… / / FEATURED IN THE FOLLOWING GROUPS / HAND DRAWN OR PAINTED ART OF HAPPINEES OR JOY / 1ON1..THE FINE ART OF PORTRAITURE / Francesca / Annabel / Sadie / Margaret / The Story in Your Eyes / Catherine Earnshaw / Beatrice / Rafaela / Autumn / Bathsheba / Katharine / Sylvia

/ Francesca You came in out of the night / And there were flowers in your hand, / Now you will come out of a confusion of people, / Out of a turmoil of speech about you. / I who have seen you amid the primal things / Was angry when they spoke your name / IN ordinary places. / I would that the cool waves might flow over my mind, / And that the world should dry as a dead leaf, / Or as a dandelion see-pod and be swept away, / So that I might find you again, / Alone. Francesca by Ezra Pound Thank you so much
There are so many layers to this painting, that I can’t even begin to discuss them all here…the main ideas behind it lie in a series of contrasts….Victorian melodrama, modern day and traditional “angels of mercy”, Leonard Cohen’s poetry, virtue vs. vice, 60s pop music, black v.s white, and the significance of names... / Those of you who were teens in the 60s or 70s, will probably recognize the allusion to the music which directly ties into the work of Charles Dickens and the title of the portrait.. / Flavia / Francesca / Annabel / Sadie / Margaret / The Story in Your Eyes / Catherine Earnshaw / Beatrice / Rafaela / Autumn / Bathsheba / Katharine / Sylvia
Although all my portraits are painted wet in wet, for a more painterly look in “Maryrse”, I allowed the paint to move more freely on the paper, and left pencil lines in place.. Watercolour on Arches Not Paper / McGill / Flavia / Francesca / Annabel / Sadie / Margaret / The Story in Your Eyes / Catherine Earnshaw / Beatrice / Rafaela / Autumn / Bathsheba / Katharine / Sylvia

/ Maryryse Thank you so much Isa Rodrigues
Lovely one, / just as on the cool stone / of the spring, the water / opens a wide flash of foam, / so is the smile of your face, / lovely one. Lovely one, / with delicate hands and slender feet / like a silver pony, / walking, flower of the world, / thus I see you, / lovely one. Lovely one, / with a nest of copper entangled / on your head, a nest / the color of dark honey / where my heart burns and rests, / lovely one. Lovely one, / your eyes are too big for your face, / your eyes are too big for the earth...excerpt Lovely One, by Pablo Neruda “Paola” is painted in watercolour on Clayboard, which notwithstanding the manufacturers claims, is even more difficult than watercolour on paper…the great advantage is that paint is easily removed but that also is it’s greatest drawback…still I ihave used it a number of times and plan to do it again / Maryrse / McGill / Flavia / Francesca / Annabel / Sadie / Margaret / The Story in Your Eyes / Catherine Earnshaw / Beatrice / Rafaela / Autumn / Bathsheba / Katharine / Sylvia
I generally title my paintings on completion…they tell me, usually instantly what they should be called…for some reason the name Wisteria came to me as soon as this painting was finished…as is customary I went along with it…then lo and behold I found a poem that perfectly matched the image, which I had never seen before….you would swear it had been written for the painting…serendipity... a slight revisiting of the style of the first portraits in the series, where I included vivid colours and backgrounds.. Violet lavender drug / slipping beneath my skin, / shucking off the stale air / of too long shut in, / too long shut away / whispering to me / to breathe deep and be. The clothes fall away / till I stand like mother Eve / two bites before the apple. / Lips blush to rose, / and the tongue tastes / of sweet tart pomegranate, / while a wisp of wind / carries hair to frame my face. All I have been is pollen dusted, / oh the wisteria sweet / kissing deep, / till I feel the promise of fertile, / drooping fat on a vine / petals that promise nothing, / but hint at all. A month from honeysuckle still to come, / but I can taste the nights, / raise my eyes to the mantle of sky, / suddenly clad in the skin / of every moonlit woman, / and beckoning with my being / for you to dance beneath / the far flung sky / in the arms of a Wisteria Woman Lisa Shields FEATURED IN IPRESSIONIST ART / CREATIVE CARDS / PAINTED LADIES / Paola / Maryrse / McGill / Flavia / Francesca / Annabel / Sadie / Margaret / The Story in Your Eyes / Catherine Earnshaw / Beatrice / Rafaela / Autumn / Bathsheba / Katharine / Sylvia
