Portrait of sisters Malvina Ann Louise and Hilda Sophie Charlotte Reventlow in the forest, Detail. by August Heinrich Schiott (1823-1895)
HIGH RESOLUTION. Full title: 'Take the Fair Face of Woman, and Gently Suspending, With Butterflies, Flowers, and Jewels Attending, Thus Your Fairy is Made of Most Beautiful Things' Sophie Anderson [French-British Pre-Raphaelite Painter, 1823-1903] Oil on canvas, circa1880 The title is purported to be from a poem by Charles Ede but I was unable to verify this or find any poem in which this phrase is included. ______ My scan and digital restoration ______ ______ 2017 Update: My image is now on Wikipedia (it is attributed to ARC, but their online image is different). In it's journey to Wikipedia it has been enlarged (though I actually have an image 50% larger than the one I uploaded). My image inadvertently has a depth and resonance not available in the original painting, because I had laminated my original image years before scanning which darkened and deepened the appearance.

Sophie Rodionov recently won our ‘Summer Seascapes and Landscapes’ watercolour competition. Her winning work, ‘Hidden Path’ depicted a wooden walkway in a lush forest. The work demonstrated the artist’s skill of describing dramatic light effects as the sun danced around the dense foliage. Rodionov combines expressive wet on wet techniques with the lightest of washes and saturated splashes of deep greens and umbers to create this succulent and fresh looking painting. Here below is an interview we conducted with Sophie after she received news of her competition victory. Lisa: Can you tell us what inspired you in particular about the subject matter of your prize winning painting ‘Hidden Path’? Sophia: It was a moment from a walk in a small park near the house of my parents in the US. Actually it is hard to say a “park”, just a small lake and trees around. The atmosphere of this place was so totally different – just a couple of steps and you are surrounded by the mystery of nature. I’m always inspired by nature and trees especially, so it was no surprise for me that I wanted to paint this moment immediately. I made a tonal sketch to capture the ...
