I will eventually get back to telling you more about my painting travels in Portugal last November. I just want to mention this show as I hung it today (10 pieces are mine) and it’s ready for viewing!
I finished a new painting yesterday, just in time for the show. It is inspired both by my trip to Quinta da Regaleira, in Sintra, Portugal, and by a book I am reading right now – it dwells a bit on the Grail Romances which I find particularly fascinating. In fact, the Quinta da Regaleira property’s architecture and structures are partly inspired by alchemy, Masonry, the Knights Templar, the Rosicrucians, and the Tarot, and many of these have been related strongly to the Grail Romances at times, including in the aforementioned book. More about Quinta da Regaleira later… (it really captured the imagination) … for now I want you to see the finished painting.
The Stuff of Grail Romances. Watercolour on Gessoed Paper. 15×22″. $500.00. Artist Lianne Todd
You can get a much better impression of it if you actually go to the show, of course! All of the pieces are ones that have been inspired by Portugal.
It’s at Annandale House (N.H.S), in Tillsonburg, on the second floor, in the gallery there. Go check it out!
