    This piece is absolutely stunning and looks so much like a camera portrait. I'm in awe of your ability to render laces and other patterns and textures with such realism. Beautifl work.

The Blue Dress

As good as finished but without a title yet, so for now, it is called ‘The Blue Dress' oil on linen, 50x60cm This painting was inspired by a condition called POTS , something I have lived with all of my adult life. POTS is a fairly unknown condition of the autonomic nervous system which makes you dizzy and faint, at best, and wheelchair/bed bound at worst. I wanted to express the feeling of dizziness and loneliness in a painting. For this painting I looked at medieval art, like Fra Angelico’s architecture and drapery, Vermeer’s use of blue, and of light, I picked pieces from Blenheim Palace and my imagination to put this all together in a vision of Alice in Wonderland-styled confusion and dizziness. For more on POTS, check out the patient charity STARS Edit spring 2012: I did some more work on it, here is the final image:
