"Adele's Choice" -original watercolour by Glenn Marshall
What's the connection between two old vases and two smoke damaged frames? While you are thinking about that let me apologise for the blurred image above. It comes from pre-digital days and sadly, is the only record I've got of one of my strangest commissions. Let me explain - the client had the two vases. They were very expensive vases and she wanted me to use the images  from the vases to produce two paintings and put them into her two smoke damaged though still very expensive frames. Both vases contained images of young women in old costumes - one in Roman times and the other Georgian or Victorian getting ready to bathe. The paintings turned out OK - I simply transposed the two figures into a more romantic background. Unfortunately this is the only one I have a record of. The frames were restored by a friend with much experience in that field and Adele was very pleased when I presented the paintings to her along with two vases - undamaged I'm pleased to say. Halfway through an exciting new set of work for 'Double Vision' in November it was nice to look back at this painting and I hope you enjoy it too. Glenn
