I have been toying with the idea to produce some work in Terracotta and Parian ware and this delightful work by Jean Baptiste Carpeaux has finally convinced me to get started as soon as my large commission is finished! This is a late work by Carpeaux dated 1875 and is a study inspired from a […]

Gwen John, the mysterious sister
I remember seeing a picture on the French site recently and thinking “what a cheerful girl”! As part of my contribution to promote Female artists, Gwen was described as “The mysterious sister who lives in Paris”. Her paintings were admired by her brother Augustus. The nude version of her friend Fenella Lovell can be found […]
Camille Claudel
Of course we all knew about Camille Claudel and admired her work despite the shadow of Rodin and her sad story. Until now I have not felt she had produced a work that I liked enough for of my top 1000. I found this on the French Site and added it.

Chris, Miles & ARC
Chris Miller is “on about” the ARC again. I am very glad for the ARC it is essential. The submissions to the competition of 2007 are perhaps not up to some of the best of the past years. Miles has done a noble job in his critique. I am less enthusiastic but he has made […]
Henry Holiday
It’s wonderful to see Gilbert Holiday’s father has made it to that French Site. http://printwomen.blogspot.com/2008/02/henry-holiday-1839-1927.html
Zoomquilt Surreal
Surreal flashIf you like surreal art then I think you will like this http://www.libo.ru/i359.htmlIt takes a moment to load up but the concept is very captivating. Rather nightmarish but still very clever.
Lady American Sculptresses
When I started this post I had no idea what I had promised to do. There are lot of them and they did a lot of good stuff. There are even a few doing some good stuff today! (Master of the understatement). I said I would add as I went along but it doesn’t work […]
