Alexandra, 5x7 Oil Painting on Canvas, Scene in English Garden

NFS

My sister took this picture of our friend Alexandra during the week of her wedding. I was struck by the colors, the pose, and her reflection in the water (I'm a sucker for reflections). I broke the rules of composition by placing her smack in the middle top half of the picture, and I like it. Her beautiful red hair is the piece de resistance.

Shades of the Forties, 5x7 Oil on Canvas Board

My friend Donna was visiting England during a commemoration of the Blitz, those terrible times when the country was under attack. People in Haworth, England dressed in 1940s clothing and had a big celebration. It looked very authentic, since the village has not changed much in appearance since long before 1940, which is one of the things I love about England.
