About The Artwork
I was inspired to paint Lily Cole, the celebrity model, actress, activist and writer after reading her book Who Cares Wins. Whistler once wrote that painting should appear as 'breathe on glass' - not overworked, shimmering with energy. I feel like I achieved a good quality with this painting; which was a fun exercise in colour mixing. The intensity of her gaze and sparing use of line to depict the trees is perhaps emblamatic of natural disaster - in thinking about collective responsibility, for the future outcome of humankind.
