BRETON COIF.

Oil on canvas,  20 x 16 inches.

Painting from a drawing on site of a dancer watching her friends performing. 

I liked the way sunlight shone through her cotton cap and on her features to create a mosaic dappled light.

Available at the Imagine Gallery, Long Melford, Suffolk.

THREE COIFS.

Oil on canvas,  42 x 26 inches.

A combination of three seperate drawings laced together to create a

gathering of figures.  A limited palette and imaginative light source

used to enhance the headdress.  The coifs used by Bretons in France.

Available at the Imagine Gallery, Long Melford, Suffolk.

FADING LIGHT.

Oil on canvas, 26 x 15 inches.

My sitter was casualy arranging her clothing ready for a painting session when she was caught by the fading afternoon light fdrom a side window.  This had to be captured.  An accidental situation leading to the imaginative narrative of a breton worker lighting the evening candle.

EVENING ROUNDS.

Oil on canvas,  40 x 20 inches.

This is a purely an imaginative painting of a working maid walking the corridors in the evening. It could be in a hospital, boarding, school, convent, anywhere but I was mainly interested in portraying top cool light as seen in many Victorian paintings picking out the crisp clean highlights on starched coif and apron.
