No. 1492 "Veronica Stole the Kiss She Came for and Escaped Before He Could Catch His Breath" Portrait Plate
An oil portrait painting of Violet wearing a mask in a black dress on an antique English Staffordshire, Allerton's Pottery, pink lusterware plate with a traditional cross-hatch and rose sprig border, c. 1891-1912, measuring 7". "Veronica Stole the Kiss She Came for and Escaped Before He Could Catch His Breath".
THE STORY: Inspired by literature, my portraits have novelistic titles that hint at the adventures of their heroines (and sometimes heroes). In this mini-collection of masked portraits, the directness of gaze suggests a willingness to share secrets, and the masks suggest balls, trysts, and clandestine escapades.
THE CHINA: Many of my paintings are set in antique saucers and dishes which not only work as unexpected frames but add a layer of historical narrative on top of the origin story. Each piece has a unique blend, so that some are more romantic, some more exotic, and some more otherworldly.
