Coffee tastes so much better if taken with a person close to your heart. Thanks Sasha for pointing your new shiny camera lens this way.

Today’s portrait is of the beautiful Parisian girlfriend of mine. It was super nice to catch with you at that bistro near the Opera over something sweet and white  the other week.

Love story no. 1

Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

The series follows a story of Anoushka and Horatio meeting on the Heath on a sunny October day.  The paintings in the series illustrate the emotional content of the encounter. A visual language of varied broad, painterly brushstrokes and contrasts of color carry out the narrative. The images are figurative and tiny, the size is designed to draw the viewer in, almost peering through a key hole.The viewer has a fleeting glimpse, barely more than an impression of who the two people are, not enough detail is given but the titles offer a faint impression of what is going on in the story.

The series are intended for the Affordable Art Fair with GoFigurative 27-30 October, Hampstead, London.

People I know, continued

The  People I know series have been going on nicely, I’ve gotten a good line-up of sitters but nowhere close to the ambitious 30 portraits goal (not one-a-day, no, not happening). So looking forward to hear from you if you’d like to sit for me.

In fact people are so much more consuming and entertaining to paint, my  painting-a-day practice has moved into the background. That is, I still paint every day (you can see the proof that I am a busy bee on the right hand side column of my site through the Facebook, Flickr and Twitter feeds) but some changes are coming here to adjust to my current  work rhythm.  Stay tuned.

People I know (3) Tracy

You see, I suffer miserably from seasonal allergies.  In spite of living by the park, this year was the best  for me so far thanks to my lovely homeopath Tracy, who did her magic on me with the treatments and kindly posed for this number 3 painting in the series.
