I love the titles of these!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful, very expressive with great titles. I don't quite get the semi-abstract part, but she is entitled.
ReplyDeleteHi Frank, no neither do I but like you said she is entitled to call her work any thing she likes. Odd thing is I think she has used the same model as we have for out drawing classes. Look out (the first face) and thistles, the one in the chair hiding her face, they both look so much like the model we use it has to be her.
ReplyDeleteMakes you realise how it should be done!!
It appears to me that there are two models used throughout, except that I am not sure of the last one - Silent Song.
ReplyDeleteI really admire this artist. It's great to see realism, which is something I like very much in art, as the chair looks like really leather and the folds of the cloth remind me of tromphe l'oeil. The wallpaper is wonderful too.
ReplyDeletelove it
