Henry was an interesting chap. You can wiki him but in brief, he was a Philly lad, his father of Quaker descent and a naturalist, his mothers family was in the publishing business. He had a fascinating education from some genius guy who tutored he and his brother. He went into the publishing business and then at 22, he had a nervous breakdown, recovered, focused his interest on the study of church history of the Middle Ages and occult sciences. Later, he married his cousin and was a very productive member of society. A bit of an anarchist and rabble rouser really. Completed 2015. AVAILABLE through the artist.

Lately, I have been using the Library Company of Philadelphia for sourcing portraits of people as it is a consistent challenge to find proper images. They have excellent archives, online but often they don't know the names associated with the images. Such is the case here. I call her Anna Marie. Completed, 2014. Traded to Marga Grima.<br />

As it is becoming increasing difficult for me to source the portraits I am painting, I at times, bereft of the reference to the sitter, as is the case here. What is interesting to me is the placement of the image befitting of the crown on the Bud can, thereby creating a good marriage of can and image which makes for the best pieces.

This is from a self portrait. Sara was a leading miniaturist in Boston. She's now infamous for a miniature portrait of her breast, naming it "Beauty Revealed", that she had presented to a lover and that is now at the permanent collection of the Met in NY.

I was enamored to revisit this piece from my first show in 2004, when I saw this recently at an old friends house. Notice the complete lack of painting except for a blocking in of the coat and tie and slight tint to the cheeks. This is Julius Pringle a relative on my dad's side of the family and the original of this miniature can be found in the Gibbes Museum in Charleston, SC where I grew up.<br />
I love this no less than my current paintings which show what painting the same thing 700 times over the course of 11 years does to develop a painting style.kim alsbrookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02580618850142964664noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447386265794615496.post-66974160094735518192014-10-14T06:09:00.000-07:002014-10-14T06:19:18.844-07:00Sort The Recyclables<a href="http://dirtylaundrymag.com/articles/kim-alsbrooks/" target="_blank"> Essay in Dirty Laundry Magazine</a><br />
