Same view everyday. Wish they’d point me somewhere interesting. I mean… how hard would it be to leave my frame pointed at some wonder of the world? But no.. I have to spend my life looking at the kitchen. I rarely bother to look out now. Hardly seems worth the effort.

Original was pencil, ink drawing. Wouldn’t you love to do be able to do this sometimes? Often we are required to put on a face that does not reflect how we feel. This is kind of the idea that we can do this and still keep the integrity of our real feelings below.

Day 222 I found this dress in the attic, haunting in a good way isnt it? lol / I made an adjustment to it because it was too big, and ugly cut the neckline with scissors. I decided to try out candle light, its amazing! seriously suggest giving it a go, but if your a klutz like me, get someone to make sure you don’t knock it over or set your hair on fire. I had a jug of water standing by on the side / taken with 1000D

She is regal, she is royal, she is every woman, she is you, she is me…she is strong in body mind and soul, she is timeless,...she is wise, she is free, this woman, “The Queen”... The Fourth in the series, her face is half turned to the viewer, looking away, conscious of her dignity, regal in her bearing, as if carved from the rarest wood... I have named you queen. / There are taller ones than you, taller. / There are purer ones than you, purer. / There are lovelier than you, lovelier. But you are the queen. When you go through the streets / no one recognizes you. / No one sees your crystal crown, no one looks / at the carpet of red gold / that you tread as you pass, / the nonexistent carpet. And when you appear / all the rivers sound / in my body, bells / shake the sky, / and a hymn fills the world. Only you and I, / only you and I, my love, / listen to it. Pablo Neruda Acrylic and Watercolour on Fabriano Artistico / The Masquerade / The Cameo

“The Plea” is the latest in the series “Significant Faces”...I have seen her face, her expression, in many woman, but her lips were in a picture I saw last year in a fashion magazine at a friends house… those rich parted lips remained embedded in my memory….they seemed the lips of a supplicant….I should have known that I would paint those lips some day… / There are many poems titled The Plea…pleas for love. pleas to stop war, pleas to God for mercy…I decided not to include one this time…I will let you decide what her plea is all about...

Be quiet. / Don’t talk. / Listen. / And in the quiet / I heard whispers / Of ways and paths. / In the quiet / Direction given, / Hope shown. / In the quiet / Faith built. / On quietness. / The stillness of the wind / As it moves around / Not through / The path of trees / That stand firmly in the way. / Eyes open wide / To see, / Ears to hear / The Truth. / Spoken quietly / From a quiet heart.

/ In my goal to portray women in all guises and emotions, here is the latetst addition to the collection..”The Temptation”....we all know what the feeling…temptation comes in many disguises…is she the temptress, or has she been tempted?make of her what you will… / When I was halfway through painting it, I remembered a picture I had seen in a magazine advertising lipstick….the model had her fingers on the open lips…. I thought they would be a perfect addititon to the painting, but I needed to see them again, just to be sure…. I frantically dug through my recycling bin (luckily we are having a garbage strike and everthing is still here) and found the picture…..the fingers were just what I needed…it was apparent that the picture had been buried in my subconscious, just waiting to emerge in this painting….I made the modifications to the image and here it is Acrylic and watercolour on Fabriano Paper.. 613 views…33 Favouritings.. FEATURED IN.. .. / CREATIVE CARDS / THE OUTSIDERS / THE DIVINE FEMININE / TOP TEN WINNER IN AVANTE GARDE CHALLENGE / TOP TEN CHALLENGE WIN IN PAINTED LADIES THE Demon, in my chamber high, / This morning came to visit me, / And, thinking he would find some fault, / He whispered: “I would know of thee Among the many lovely things / That make the magic of her face, / Among the beauties, black and rose, / That make her body’s charm and grace, Which is most fair?” Thou didst reply / To the Abhorred, O soul of mine: / “No single beauty is the best / When she is all one flower divine. When all things charm me I ignore / Which one alone brings most delight; / She shines before me like the dawn, / And she consoles me like the night. The harmony is far too great, / That governs all her body fair, / For impotence to analyse / And say which note is sweetest there. O mystic metamorphosis! / My senses into one sense flow— / Her voice makes perfume when she speaks, / Her breath is music faint and low!” ..Baudelaire / The Quiet / The Plea / Le Maquillage / The Queen / The Masquerade / The Cameo

“Beauty is not a need but an ecstasy. / It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth, / But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted. / It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear, / But rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hear though you shut your ears. / It is not the sap within the furrowed bark, nor a wing attached to a claw, / But rather a garden forever in bloom and a flock of angels for ever in flight. / Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face. / But you are life and you are the veil. / Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. / But you are eternity and you are the mirror”.

“The Party” or the party goer..either way her eyes speak volumes as all the other in the series do…the party goes on…is it life…the chatter, unrhymed, no listeners, mistrust? / “You cannot read me like an open book, I’m more myself than you will ever look”, the poem states…and later “Will no one listen to my song, i shan’t be with you very long”...a lot to think about... Gouache and WAtercolour on Arches Not Paper Unrhymed, unrhythmical, the chatter goes: / Yet no one hears his own remarks as prose. / Beneath each topic tunelessly discussed / The ground-bass is reciprocal mistrust. / The names in fashion shuttling to and fro / Yield, when deciphered, messages of woe. / You cannot read me like an open book. / I’m more myself than you will ever look. / Will no one listen to my little song? / Perhaps I shan’t be with you very long. / A howl for recognition, shrill with fear, / Shakes the jam-packed apartment, but each ear / Is listening to its hearing, so none hear...Auden / The Beauty / The Star / The Night / The Disguise / The Temptation / The Quiet / The Plea / Le Maquillage / The Queen / The Masquerade / The Cameo

Virtue runs before the muse / And defies her skill, / She is rapt, and doth refuse / To wait a painter’s will. Star-adoring, occupied, / Virtue cannot bend her, / Just to please a poet’s pride, / To parade her splendor. The bard must be with good intent / No more his, but hers, / Throw away his pen and paint, / Kneel with worshippers. Then, perchance, a sunny ray / From the heaven of fire, / His lost tools may over-pay, / And better his desire R.W.Emerson I named this painting Virtue after Emerson’s poem “Loss and Gain”, in part because I think the muse has been with me throughout this series…I certainly had “good intent”...I have not had to discard any of the paintings, and all I have done so far have been posted…by now you know that I am not simply painting faces, although on one level it could be seen as such…each portrait tells a story not only of womanhood, but of life in general…they were designed to intrigue, to disturb, to make the viewer think twice about the subject and what it is trying to say…not simply a “Party” like the one before this, but more a statement of what life is or can be…”Virtue” looks out of the frame with parted lips….what is she trying to say about her life?...what does her name mean?

Who is Silvia? what is she, / That all our swains commend her? / Holy, fair, and wise is she; / The heaven such grace did lend her, / That she might admirèd be. / Is she kind as she is fair? / For beauty lives with kindness. / Love doth to her eyes repair, / To help him of his blindness, / And, being helped, inhabits there. / Then to Silvia let us sing, / That Silvia is excelling; / She excels each mortal thing / Upon the dull earth dwelling: / To her let us garlands bring...Shakespeare Watercolour on Arches Not Paper FEATURED IN THE FOLLOWING GROUPS… / CREATIVE CARDS.. / IMPRESSIONIST ART / FINE ART / The Riddle / Illusion / The Wish / Virtue / The Party / The Beauty / The Star / The Night / The Temptation / The Quiet / The Plea / Le Maquillage

We see you as we see a face / That trembles in a forest place / Upon the mirror of a pool / Forever quiet, clear and cool; / And in the wayward glass, appears / To hover between smiles and tears, / Elfin and human, airy and true, / And backed by the reflected blue...Katharine by / R.L.Stevenson When this painting was finished, I could not help but think of Stevenson’s “Katharine” and her “elfin” face…this delicate “quiet and cool” beauty seems to “mirror” his “trembling face, hovering between smiles and tears”..

As in Bathsheba Everdene, from Thomas Hardy’s “Far from the Madding Crowd”...within a short time of arriving at her aunt’s house, Bathsheba has the neighbouring young men at her feet…independent, beautiful and intelligent, she rises quickly when she inherits her uncle’s farm, then shocks everyone by deciding to manage it herself…..her three suitors are each determined to marry her.. / “The book (which I have read a zillion times), has been described as an early piece of feminist literature, since it features an independent woman with the courage to defy convention by running a farm herself. Although Bathsheba’s passionate nature leads her into serious errors of judgment, Hardy endows her with sufficient resilience, intelligence, and good luck to overcome her youthful folly”.wiki Watercolour on Arches Not Paper / Katharine / Sylvia / The Riddle / Illusion / The Wish / Virtue / The Party / The Beauty / The Star / The Night / The Temptation / The Quiet / The Plea / Le Maquillage

When exactly nine years had passed since this gracious being appeared to me, as I have described, it happened that on the last day of this intervening period this marvel appeared before me again, dressed in purest white, walking between two other women of distinguished bearing, both older than herself. As they walked down the street she turned her eyes toward me where I stood in fear and trembling, and with her ineffable courtesy, which is now rewarded in eternal life, she greeted me; and such was the virtue of her greeting that I seemed to experience the height of bliss. It was exactly the ninth hour of day when she gave me her sweet greeting. As this was the first time she had ever spoken to me, I was filled with such joy that, my senses reeling, I had to withdraw from the sight of others. So I returned to the loneliness of my room and began to think about this gracious person. Dante (La Vita Nuova III) Dante first met Beatrice when he was nine and she was a year younger…he was entranced with her, but they did not meet again until nine years later..he went home and wrote what is considered to be one of the worlds greatest romantic poems, “La Vita Nuova”... many painters have recorded their meeting on the bridge…however there is only one (presumed) portrait of her…I discovered it after I painted this and there is no resemblance.. / Dante thought her angelic…I hope you think the same of my Beatrice...

At first, I experimented only with dead animals, and then a human heart which I kept beating for three weeks. But now, I’m going to turn that ray on that body and endow it with life… Tonight, you shall have your proof… / Dr Henry Frankenstein, scientist. Inks

Over the next couple of weeks, I thought I’d share some of the reasons I take pictures. This is the first and I’m guessing most of us have it in common. We want to save those moments that mean something to us, speak to us, make us happy. Sweetie’s not a cooperative “model” most of the time, but on this particular sunny morning about a week ago he rolled and twisted and posed in that adorable way that cats do. Later he threw up a little hairball, so I know all the rolling and twisting wasn’t for my benefit. But an image like this is one big reason I take pix. As is / Canon IS 2S / /
