A very big work for my standards, but such fun to do. Got the frame ready, just need it to sit for a bit and to dry...
This one piece of lace is providing me with quite a few paintings! More to come!
Sophie your works are genius! This is outstanding. Have you seen the marble carving "The Veiled Rebecca" by Benzoni? I saw it at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and your piece has that same amazing quality.
Beautiful and intricate work. I love portraiture and do some myself but not nearly as refined. I am from Australia and my blog is howtooilpaint-barbn.blogspot.com
Happy 2015!! I love looking ahead so I have been looking at any great exhibitions coming up. Not the ones with my work in it - necessarily - but the big ones at the major public galleries. Lots of newspapers do this but just like everybody else I never agree with their selection! In 2014 there were some real blockbuster exhibitions. I don’t always get to go because of time restraints (I have a young family so sometimes Rembrandt has to make way for Paddington Bear) but I really enjoyed the ‘Wedding Dresses’ exhibition at the V&A last year, as well as the major Veronese exhibition at the National Gallery. Of course the BP Portrait Award 2014 was a big one for me personally. I really wanted to see the Rembrandt exhibition but I simply ran out of time and had to skip it. I am no big exhibition-goer, but I am a wannabe. In no particular order I hope to see at least some of these promising exhibitions in 2015. Which ones would you recommend and have I missed? Sargent.
