Hi All,
Here are some images of works that I have recently painted in oils. The portrait with the green background was inspired by Lady Smaggle's (www.smagglestyle.com) idea of the ultimate accessorising being the wearing of a bird as a fascinator. So I used that as a starting point and filtered the whole thing through the Victorian aesthetic. I am trying to create these imaginary portraits which have a sort of timeless quality about them. The other image is a detail of a larger painting that is not quite finished yet (who knows where that one will go?).
Another artist I am interested in at the moment is Camille Rose Garcia. I have also started looking at the background art of the classic Disney films of the 40's and 50's such as Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella.
Love ged x
