Artists Open House Hang and ‘Sargent and Fashion’

For the Artists Open House I’m getting the paintings in the living room hung early. I’d say it’s looking good.

I am still working hard to refine my ideas on painting fabric in order to submit an application for some funding. 

On Friday we had a great day at Tate Britain looking at the nimble and evanescent brushwork of John Singer Sargent. The exhibition, Sargent & Fashion, puts the sitters outfits front and centre, it’s focus is to dazzle you with the clothes and it succeeds brilliantly, the painting of fabric is ravishing, I recommend it. 

Some favourites were:

‘Sybil Sassoon, the Countess of Rocksavage’ 1913

‘The Duchess of Portland’ 1902

‘Miss Elsie Palmer, or A Lady in White’ 1889-90

‘Dr Pozzi at Home’ 1881

Have a great week.
