'Lola Violet' was done in a sunny afternoon as a humble homage to the great portrait painter John Sargent.

The soft hues of lavender, greens, yellows and browns were all observed on his late and more impressionistic period. The bright white (so characteristic of plein-air paintings), was also used to convey the light feeling of Summer.Lola, the model, is a very 'professional' model indeed. Who is capable of producing the most interesting and varied poses and faces. Her love for dressing-up is captured in this piece. Her ability to 'act a part' frozen within the aristocratic pose.The flower she hold acts both as a prop and symbol of her youth and innocent beauty. Her dark her contrasting with the white of her gown.�'Lola Violet' is a lively and much loved study of a model, a painter's palette and a sunny afternoon.
