The latest. I've called it "Poolside." It's in oils on canvas and is 20cm x 25cm (8in x 10in). Framed and unframed.

Hi Kerry,
I have caught up on your paintings thread. I love Daniel's! His hair, the folds on his shirts. Not sure  about the Poolside.  I much prefer the other abstracts of yours. It is just a matter of personal taste. Why the "Poolside"? What inspired you?
BbM, I swear

Thank you for your kind feedback, Sel. I'm glad you like the portrait of my friend, Daniel.   :)

Hi Kerry,
Recently I was in Rome and I made a point of going to the Santa Maria della Vittoria Church to see the Ecstasy of St Theresa. What a masterpiece! Of course I thought of you.
I have been to Rome several times but never to that church. According to the Lonely Planet Guide there are 900 churches in Rome - eventually I would have got there I suppose. LOL!
Walking distance from it, to mark the 400th anniversary of his death, an exhibition on Caravaggio has been set up at the Scuderie del Quirinale. Paintings have been brought in from the States, Russia and other countries. Unfortunately I didn't make it there as there was a rather long queue, hopefully next time.

I'm so thrilled you got to see Bernini's incomparable Ecstasy of Saint Teresa,  Sonja. I'm pleased you enjoyed the experience. I'd love to see it myself one day. Until then, the Internet will have to do for me.


"The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa"
Gianlorenzo Bernini
1645-52
Cornaro Chapel, Santa Maria della Vittoria, Rome

Sorry you didn't get to see the Caravaggio exhibition. I know what you mean about queues. I loathe  them! I had planned on making the journey down to the National Gallery in Canberra recently, to see a big French Impressionist exhibition. I heard it had attracted big crowds, so waited until near the end of its run, thinking the crowds may have thinned out by then. Alas, not so. People were camping out overnight to avoid the three and a half hour  wait to get in! I knew that standing in queue for that length of time would really stress me out, so I decided against attending. I might have persevered, however, if there'd been some Caravaggios on show!

There were actually two queues, a rather long one of people who had just turned up, and a much shorter one, still a queue nonetheless, of people who had booked in advance.

I, too, would have loved to see the French Impressionist exhibition.

This is not Sonja, it is Sel:)
