Stay At Home Artist. An artist from Philly painting Romanovs. Romanovs and Brontës as Muse. Tatiana and Olga 2010. Thursday, September 25, 2014. And now, Alexis. When I was battling the Tsar's tunic for a year I was also improving Nicholas's portrait all during that time. Which I think is one of the reasons the tunic battle dragged on . However though out all that, Alexi stood at attention, as good as gold with a cheeky grin, and ready to go. Embrace the trouble.it does free one up once the okay is g...

May 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the OTMA's iconic 1914 formal photograph session. Most people know the Tsar's daughters from these photos taken a few months before World War I. A friend early on said this would be at least two volumes lol. Something has just beamed in. Armed with Charlotte's letters and a 1853-54 calender, my aim is to get it...

Stay At Home Artist. An artist from Philly painting Romanovs. Romanovs and Brontës as Muse. Tatiana and Olga 2010. Thursday, December 25, 2014. Evolution of Alexei : over 2 1/2 years. S I have said my current portrait of Alexei was happy and laughing for years. I liked the laughing Alexis. He was unaware of the future and was happy, as he was in life during this time. Or it could be seen as a portrait of his Spirit. A portrait of redemption , a statement of " death where is thy string? It was written in ...

Stay At Home Artist: February 2014

Stay At Home Artist. An artist from Philly painting Romanovs. Romanovs and Brontës as Muse. Tatiana and Olga 2010. Thursday, February 6, 2014. The photo I'm using for my painting of the Tsar and Alexis has the Tsar in a 3/4quaters pose. After awhile his image insisted on a straight forward facial portrait. Any artist or author will tell you there are times when the creation will have its way and not behave as one wants. Okay , but I planned to keep the 3/4 quarters facing body and bring the two together.
