Tara is the name of the daughter of a close friend…it is a given name with multiple meanings in different cultures. / It is accepted as being exclusively a female name among western culture, and is primarily used in this regard in the east, due to its connection to several goddesses. Tara is a female Buddha in Buddhism and a goddess in Hinduism.. It is of Gaelic and Sanskrit origin, and its meaning is “hill; star”. Ancient Tara was the site of the “stone of destiny” on which Irish kings resided… in Hindu mythology, Tara is one of the names of the wife of Shiva….at the completion of the painting, I felt that the name of a goddess suited her perfectly.

Painting “Jenny”, I thought of all the associations with the name, one of them being Jenny Lind the singer, also called The Nightingale…my Jenny is modern, but she still has a vintage appearance…the necklace and jabot contribute to that look…the origins of the name is Cornish, meaning fair and smooth…coincidently I used hot pressed paper…arguably the most difficult paper to use, but wonderful in portraying complexions…however that’s not enough of a recommendation to cause me to use it very often Watercolour on Saunders Hot Press Paper / Tara / Meiling / Could This be the Magic / Forever Autumn
This new series is about beauty… about women and what their beauty says about them…their stories….more than anything else hair is a woman’s crowning glory and says a lot about her…we women many times hide behind our hair…it is an emblem of our strength….we spend eons of time and money on our hair, we mourn it’s loss when we are ill, and rejoice on our good hair days .. Delia has been glorified in verse and song for centuries…Samuel Daniel’s Sonnets “To Delia” are rich in imagery, sensuous and earthy…Robert Burns wrote a very inspiring Ode to her, (see below), calling her voice more delightful than the lark, William Cowper wrote about drinking her tears when they parted….Longfellow mourned her in his poem, “Delia”....to Bob Dylan she was a gambling girl and sadly, Johnny Cash shot her in is song “Delia’s Gone”...here is my “Delia”, as richly pleasing as Daniel described her so long ago FAIR the face of orient day, / Fair the tints of op’ning rose; / But fairer still my Delia dawns, / More lovely far her beauty shows. / / Sweet the lark’s wild warbled lay, / Sweet the tinkling rill to hear; / But, Delia, more delightful still, / Steal thine accents on mine ear. / / The flower-enamour’d busy bee / The rosy banquet loves to sip; / Sweet the streamlet’s limpid lapse / To the sun-brown’d Arab’s lip. / / But, Delia, on thy balmy lips / Let me, no vagrant insect, rove; / O let me steal one liquid kiss, / For Oh! my soul is parch’d with love...Robert Burns..Delia.. / Watercolour on Arches 300lb Not Paper The entire Portrait Collection can be viewed by clickingHERE / Tara / Meiling / Could This be the Magic / Forever Autumn

A Jack Russell pup painted on a rock. Note the original photo. The rock is roughly 5 lbs and has a protective Krylon clear finish.
A memorial portrait of a Great Dane, painted on a piece of roofing slate. measures about 7”x9” This portrait has a protective Krylon Clear, matte finish.
From my point of view this picture is raw and honest. Looking back I was terrified at that point, but all I could do was wait. This picture discribes the way I’m feeling lately. There’s nothing sudden or repulsive about my life so on the outside it looks ordinary and pleasant.. But beneath the coverups there’s mess, crashes, pain and doubts. Is there a twisted kind of beauty in all the mess?
