    LOVELY-and would make a great Christmas card image too :-)

    Re your last post, I'm trying to be an Art Historian as well as an artist/designer too.....I have always loved the PRB, for their incredibly interesting lives as well as some of their paintings (Burne_Jones-especially The tree of Foregiveness- and Waterhouse, second and third wave PRB's are my favourites) I loved the dissertation for my last degree, based on Rosetti's pictures and relationships. Unfortunatly OU 20th century art should be renamed 20th century art criticism, that is not as interesting as the Art itself (!!!!!) due to the density of Art critics language.It's interesting and now Iunderstand the background to weverything but can't wait to return to my Victorian heroes one day.....

    Thank you for your kind comments about my lace designs....my final boards related to Oriental subjects (butterflies antique textiles etc )are under June/May posts). I have never tried portraits bar one years ago from aphotograph. Is this one done from a photo too?

The Blue Dress

-
Image
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:
