The Merciful Knight

"The Mercyful Knight" (116x89 cm) oil/canvas - Almeriane 2010

When I first saw the Burne-Jones´ watercolor of the "Mercyful Knight", I was very impressed! This is such a beautiful, mystical & full of feelings painting!!! It would appear it was one of the painter´s favourite artwork. No wonder...

The subject is taken from the life of the Florentine knight St John Gualberto, founder of the Valombrosan Order in 1039., who was miraculously embraced by a wooden figure of Christ while praying at a wayside shrine after forgiving the murder of his kinsman.

Here is my interpretation! This is an oil painting on canvas, 116 x 89 cm size.

Tune of 7 Towers / La Melodia de las 7 Torres

Here is my interpretation of the Dante Gabriel Rossetti´s watercolor "Tune of 7 Towers", which is actually, the title of my art serie.

This is an oil painting on canvas (116x89 cm size).

This will be the main painting of my collection.

With this new serie, I work more & more on designs and add more Art&Crafts, tribute to Burne Jones & Morris.

The Blessed Damozel

"Sketch for The Blessed Damozel"(detail) - Drawing/paper - Almeriane 2010

This drawing is a sketch for "The Blessed Damozel". I took my inspiration from the amazing painting of John Byam Shaw and not the Rossetti´s one.
There are 2 of the many girls surrounding the "Blessed Damozel".

Vanity

2 years ago I took photos of my cousin Davinia. There was one of the pictures that I really liked but didn´t know how to use it.
She is really pretty and I love her looking and attitude and it really fit for "Vanity"!:)

So here is the drawing that I just finished, before the oil painting!
