I am back to the cozy interiors of the Dennis Severs House.  I think I really fancy an idea of a fireplace in my house… No contributions to Etsy today, most likely all my DSH paintings are going to come together in an exhibit sometime very soon.

The magic of the Dennis Severs’ House is still not letting me go. This bed in the great bedroom is evocatively messy, with a portrait of a lady on the door suggesting what might it’s occupant look like when she returns to the room in a second.

As you walk down stairs from the first to the ground floor of the house, this bust dominates the scene. Mick mentioned it could have been actually Mozart’s sister’s likeness. Speaking of Mick, here is a good interview with him.

You may have noticed I have not listed neither of the House paintings on Etsy. It’s because they are going to go up in a show later this year, later released as artists’ copies.

This is another chair in Edward Jervis’ smoking room.  I want to frame it with the previous one into a diptych once I find myself a good framer in the area.

Meanwhile this, and the rest of Dennis Severs’ House paintings will be on show at Real Broadgate next week.

Most spacious and light in my mind, room at the Dennis Severs’ House. Even though probably most opulent, it also has a great sense of balance and peace to it.

There is Mick, the man behind Dennis Severes’ House, he is pictured here seeing off the chimney sweepers, who put in order regularly  the many fireplaces of the House.  The light on dark olive coloured walls of the hallway was a pleasure to capture.

The light through the window felt very peaceful and soft.

This is the second floor bedroom of Elizabeth Jervis – the Dennis Severs’ House resident in 18c. She just stepped out, but her presence is felt there still.

This is a final image of the blue room that occupied me for the whole week, painting it and fantasizing.
