The Small Blue

-
My tiny blue painting is done, it is small, it is blue, it was fun and a challenge. Just how I like it.
5x7" / 13x18cm, oil on panel

Just to show the small size of it I am holding it next to frame.

    Beautiful! I like the textures and the shine of that lighter material peaking through.

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.

The very friendly  'lace keeper'  showed me the pieces on display in the museum and a whole treasure trove of early lace pieces kept in storage. The place is small but full of character and full of the most beautiful Honiton lace.
