No. 2112 "Chloe Surprised Even Herself, Before the Night was Through" Portrait Plate
An oil portrait painting of Chloe wearing a mask and ready for intrigue on a white Wedgwood "Edme" pattern plate. The plate measures 6.25". Entitled "Chloe Surprised Even Herself, Before the Night was Through".
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.
