  • Recently at a friends home, I saw a picture of a modern young model, so reminiscent of the PreRaphaelites, that I knew I had to paint her…I adore the paintings from that era…someone once said that portrait painting is all memory work, even if you have a model in front of you…all of my portraits are memory work, made up of features from a million different women, and “Edith” though she comes closest to a real person is no less so…it is a family name, but it’s also the name of one of the PreRaphaelite women, Edith Hunt… / “Essential to the Pre-Raphaelite art is a woman’s face, a beautiful visage with large, luminescent eyes set in a web of long hair. / In paintings, each of these women’s expressions embody enigma and distance; often times, their poses remain static versus active. Strange that these unearthly alluring women should sit so silently when their images literally infect the Pre-Raphaelites’ body of work. Their likelinesses appear in poetry and their very faces stare out of numberless canvases. The voices and meaningful looks of these women, however, are actually the filtered versions of the men who adored and depicted them”....The Victorian Web.. As I am wont to do, I have changed style again, leaving most of her face unpainted and her hair loose and uninhibited…I felt it suited the subject matter Watercolour on Arches Rough Paper 237 Views / Caroline / Lorraine / Marie-Ange / Wisteria / Paola / Maryrse / McGill / Flavia / Francesca / Annabel / Sadie / Margaret / The Story in Your Eyes / Catherine Earnshaw / Beatrice / Rafaela / Autumn / Bathsheba / Katharine / Sylvia

  • The summer sun is fading as the year grows old / And darker days are drawing near / The winter winds will be much colder / Now you’re not here I watch the birds fly south across the Autumn sky / And one by one they disappear / I wish that I was flying with them / Now you’re not here Like the sun through the trees you came to love me / Like a leaf on the breeze you blew away Through Autumn’s golden gown we used to kick our way / You always loved this time of year / Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now / Cause you’re not here / Like the sun through the trees you came to love me / Like a leaf on the breeze you blew away A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes / As if to hide a lonely tear / My life will be forever Autumn / Cause you’re not here / Cause you’re not here / Cause you’re not here. Forever Autumn…Moody Blues LISTEN TO THE MOODY BLUES I love the Moody Blues…there are folks here on RB who know that as I have said it so many times…I find their poetry very inspiring…I have done paintings based on their music before this and plan to do more… / This painting is much larger than the others in the series (3ftx2ft), but I felt that it needed the large size for full impact...best viewed large Watercolour on 300lb Arches Rough Paper / Edith / Marie-Ange / Beatrice / Flavia / The Story in Your Eyes / Katharine

  • 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
