Sarah Bernhardt
oil on canvas
85 X 60 X 1.5 cm
This is my impression of Sarah Bernhardt, perhaps the greatest French actress in the late 1900x. I have to stress that I’m not a portrait artist. I don’t intend to be. I work from old black and white photos; I find online and then create my interpretation of the face of the woman I’m painting. The body and background are my own creation without using an example. Sarah was a muse for male artists and a very interesting woman. She became famous in a time when women didn’t’ have many rights. She lived in Paris. She is part of my Women in Paris series. Sarah's story can be read in my book The HeArt of Paris... a unique journey to pay homage to women who made the evolution of art possible.

Colette
acrylics on paper
70 X 48 X cm
My impression of famous French writer Colette. This artwork is part of a series of paintings dedicated to women in art in all its genres. If you like to find out more, please subscribe to my monthly newsletter. This is, I feel, one of the best series of my artistic career until now, and it is part of a project. Once finished I believe it will be a masterpiece containing different mediums.
The artworks in this series represent women who I like to honour. I've included symbols in these paintings which enhance the powerful energy of the work.
The mystery will be revealed slowly.

Impression of Suzanne Valadon
acrylic on canvas
70 X 50 X 3 cm
This painting is my impression of Suzanne Valadon. She was a successful artist in the early twentieth century. During that time female artists were not always taken seriously to say it mildly, but she persevered and was recognised for her talent during her lifetime. She also had a son, Maurice Utrillo who became very successful as a painter. He painted mainly street scenes and Suzanne mostly figures. I am working on a project which I’m hoping to launch by the end of 2023. This will be very special to me and the paintings I’m creating right now are part of this project. This painting shows Suzanne in front of my impression of one of the paintings of her son, Utrillo. They were very close. If you like to be kept informed and find out more about this project, then feel free to subscribe to my monthly newsletter if you haven’t done so yet.
