About this artwork
One day I came across an old postcard showing a scene from a play from about 1910 put on in London. But the interesting thing is the staging of the figures on the staircase, and it was meant to be a for fun I suppose. So I tried to enlarge it onto this canvas. I wanted to retain the maids individualism and also it tells a story, narrative. Sailor visits his girl friend in a mansion and gets attacked by her jealous fellow workmates; or take sides… with a jilted maid who stands just above the couple sitting on the stairs. I tried to enhance the colours because the postcard was a slightly warn out after all these years
I am painter who uses oil on canvas and pastel drawings . I like colour, and imaginative compositions to reflect the unconscious impulses, and I explore culture. I am informed by art history, religion and, philosophy, I use sketches, photos; - photos of my own and from research a sense of emotional intelligence is important and connection to lived experience. I write poetry and songs, a book of poems is available from Lulu publishing called "The Free Warmth of Summer". I will happily send a free copy to anyone who is interested. I am a songwriter, some of my songs are available to listen to as MP3's on my https://www.orphan-annie.com where I publish my broader range of creativity if you wish to explore. I did one poetry performance in the 1980's. July 1993. Performance: "It's a Parody of Me". London Filmmakers Co-op, Summer Show, 42, Gloucester Avenue, NW1. Organised a multimedia performance piece, of poetry with video, slides and movement.
