This painting will be in the Heliconian A Portrait by any other name show
opening Saturday April 6. I will be at the show at 35 Hazelton Avenue from 2 -3 p.m.
on Saturday. Please come out. I have two other portraits in the show. I'll show you
tomorrow.
The inspiration for this painting came from a dream I had after reading about
Sargent’s In A Garden Corfu. In the dream I saw my friend’s daughter as the model, and
couldn’t wait to begin the painting. Sargent painted the work that inspired me in
1909, the year the Heliconian Club was established. So the painting honours
Sargent, and the Heliconian Club where I will be showing it. I loved the light in Sargent’s painting.
Have a loving your life day.
An amazing beautiful painting❣️❣️❣️ I love the historical links and inspiration for your painting. I can feel the sense of light and warmth in your painting.
