Not For Sale
The inspiration for this painting came from Pontormo’s “The Visitation,” which I have long admired for its flowing group of forms and outrageous colours. In the story Pontormo painted, Mary’s visit to her cousin Elizabeth, two of the four women are carrying very special children. But I wanted to expand the theme a little, to the various ways we as women interact with the great story of life, and with each other. And, I wanted to invent costumes and try them on!

"In painting as in life, whatever distance you travel just opens up further vistas for exploration. Subtleties, bold statements, complexities of relationships, colour, colour, colour. I wish I could paint forever!"
