About Me

I want to say something deep and profound and make you all think that I am wonderful and that I have a message that I want to impart to the world, yeah right.. oh well, truth is I just love painting and creating pieces of textile art and really doing whatever I feel like doing whenever I feel like doing it.It fills a void in me that I have never been able to fill with people. Hey does that make me bad?

Lavinia, you have a wonderful range of talent; your work is good in that you capture both landscapes and detailed objects in a different light. You also have a good imsginstion for modern abstract. Arthur Hetherington

Lavinia,I feel your work has some similarities with mine, I am especially drawn to your nature close-ups. Doesn''t it seem that there isn''t enough time in the day for Art?

I like the Poppies piece. Last year I drove 80 miles to paint poppies which I thought were in bloom. I found 1.

Oh my, that is the most beautiful painting I have ever seen or heard tell of. I think that normally hangs in the Tate. How on earth did you get it out past the guards?

WR Jones - 10/7/2008 8:14:00 PM

Great design with "Walking the Dog". There are those out there with minds saying "why didn''t I think of that?" I also like the kitten painting although I can''t remember the name of the furry little thing.

Collette Fergus - 10/8/2008 2:46:00 AM

Love your work Lavinia. Beautiful and inspiring. Collette

Lesly Finn - 10/8/2008 4:00:00 AM

Hi Lavinia - thank you for visiting my profile and leaving a comment. You asked me about painting with acrylic in washes ... well to be perfectly frank I do it because its the only way I know! I use water or acrylic medium to thin the paint, then apply. Sometimes I rub some of the washes down to remove some of the pigment and let the lower layers peep through. I also use modelling paste or gesso to create texture or resistance to the paint. It''s all very much trial and error ... mostly error, ha!ha! To tell you the truth I am a bit bogged down over acrylics at present so have gone back to pastels for a while. And today I bought my first oil paints ... looking forward to playing with those. Lesly

Regina Calton Burchett - 10/11/2008 5:14:00 PM

Very interesting work - I love the gardener and watering can!

Ramona - 10/12/2008 6:43:00 AM
