I painted this quite a long time ago....I resurrected it from storage and was planning to put it into the Jane Eyre exhibit. It looked good in a bronze frame. There wasn't enough room for it in the show, however, so back to storage it went. I've always liked it, because of how mysterious it is. Who is that guy? Who is she? What are they talking about? It was painted from a photo reference.

Such a story - I love paintings where i can use my imagination. Love this Celeste and I see some of your lovely loose painting strokes in it too.
Oh I am so reminded of Renoir in this piece...same type of thoughts arise as when I look at his pieces. I am also reminded of that movie with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour where he travels through time and falls in love with her from a long gone era. Are they on a ship? What ARE they talking about? So pretty, my friend!
I agree with Julie, and I like the mystery of this piece.
This is so pretty Celeste...and Jane Eyre is my favorite book! Maybe there will be another opportunity to show it.
It is mysterious and I like that. Your soft edges are beautiful.
I've always liked this one, too. Very mysterious.
It looks like she is innocent and he is not.
Looks like Van Gogh to me, maybe just before he cut off his ear as a result of the lady commenting on how bad he smells.
I missed this one...LOVE IT..!!!! Another favorite....
Of all your work I think I like the figurative the best. I'm partial to stories. Then again tomorrow when facing one of your landscapes or still lifes I could change my mind.
