Oil on canvas : 24 x 20 inch with edges painted as part of the scene. Strung and ready to hang.
Finished in soft sheen artists varnish to avoid the glare of indoor lighting.
'Serenade' took a commended rosette for oil painting category at L.E.A.M.A.C. 2013 open competition in Long Eaton Town hall
The little linnet in full song captivates the listener as reward for freedom from a gilded cage. Perched on a bowl with a band of gold the songster is surrounded with gilding, from the cup to the gold trinkets that adorn the young lady. The floral embellishments worn in her hair and dress merge with the surrounds to complete a scene of harmony and unity.
A linnet in a gilded cage, -
A linnet on a bough, -
In frosty winter one might doubt
Which bird is luckier now.
But let the trees burst out in leaf,
And nests be on the bough,
Which linnet is the luckier bird,
Oh who could doubt it now?
Christina Georgina Rossetti ( who incidentally was the subject of her brother Dante Rossetti's first completed oil painting. Another later portrait Christina was the first Pre Raphilite Brotherhood painting to bear the initials P.R.B.
