Stop Press: I have just discovered (12 July 2011) that the two persons depicted here are: Carlos Acosta and Zenaida Yanowsky, dancing Romeo and Juliet. |
Completed August 2010.
Framed size 35" wide x 17" tall.
Both dancers were featured on BBC1 Look East, sitting on the 'red bench', talking about their latest dancing appearances. So nice to be able to put names to faces! |

'Pour l'Amour de ballet - du debut, a la fin' (FOR THE LOVE OF BALLET - THE BEGINNING AND THE END')
As I sat watching television a couple of years ago (2008), a programme showing ballet techniques and feature clips came on. Hubby had gone up the pub, and I sat engrossed in the beautiful movements of the dancers. As I watched, the sheer beauty and magic of the scenes made me want to capture the essence in a painting. My new camera was sitting nearby, so I clicked away, not really knowing how the resource photographs would look. They were awful, and I could not really use them! Nevertheless, I could appreciate the form, and still felt the beauty inside me. But it took another two years before the compelling urge threw itself up and I had to put brush to canvas, and two paintings emerged, which have been framed together to form the story. |

The Three Horseshoes, Comberton

ORIGINAL AVAILABLE: Code 14
£250 + £20 postage & packing.

Although commissioned by the landlady of the Three Horseshoes Public House, Comberton, near Cambridge in late 1983, for reasons unknown this painting lay in storage, unframed, until late 2003. In 1984, a print had been made to hang in the pub and the original went with the commissioner when she left the pub. The painting (still in new condition) was returned to the artist late in 2003. It was then framed and put back into storage. The commission marked the final Meeting of the Cambridgeshire Hunt at the pub, and is historic in that the ‘Shoes’ (as it is affectionately known by the locals) has altered somewhat since 1984
