“The rose did caper on her cheek, Her bodice rose and fell.” by Kerry Inkster

This image was taken as a film still from an underwater model shoot, and Kerry was drawn to the reflections, the poise of the girl, and the beautiful way that she was captured in the light. Her dress and jewellery and the reflections above take the eye on a journey from her bodice to the flowers and then throughout the painting. The light highlighting the chest contrasted against the colourful watery background captures the softness of the water and this colourful light filled space. Use of contrasted colours such as pink and green guides the eye, whilst the figure remains quite abstracted, leaving the shapes to be put together by the viewer. Kerry has developed her style using contemporary art techniques such as expressionism and pop art. The resultant painting is a wonderful reflection of romantic poise and feminine allure. Aptly named after a line in Emily Dickinson’s poem “The Lovers” where Dickinson refers to the exciting feelings of first love.

In this painting Kerry has used professional artist acrylics and mediums. As with most of Kerry’s paintings she has personally mounted the board on an “inbuilt” frame and then has painted the board and frame as one unit. The painting is fitted with a wire and two D rings and is ready to hang. As it is a reasonably heavy painting, Kerry recommends hanging it from two hooks on the wire, or directly to the wall on the D-rings.
