Soul to Sole

Another JUBILEE LINE to celebrate Jubilee Year

THE JUBILEE LINE

spotted in a newspaper a few months ago  I have been making a series of images of people on public transport (Jean Martin Contemplates her Life and the Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne).  I want to make the Queen as pink and glowing as possible.  here she is about 120cms x 90cms on aluminium.

THE TAILOR OF BANGLADESH

This elderly lady's photograph was advertising the fact that for £1 you could give a Bangladeshi back their sight with cataract surgery.   She reminded me very much of my 'The Jubilee Line', and I see her as a companion to her - a contrast in what life offers, and what money can buy.  Here she is about 120cms x 90cms on aluminium.

Pontormo Head

I am at the start of a learning curve, trying to analyse the incredible clarity of the original.

from Pontormo's 'Deposition from the Cross' Santa Felicita, Florence

I love the candy colours and light in this, and his fantastic composition:  this is another painting on the way.

Berlin Shoe Shop

A new painting is starting.  2 women met  again after 10 years in a Berlin shoe shop, and embraced so warmly..
