ARTIST NOTES: 24 September 2016
Lola
Lola looked at me and smiled. It was a beautiful feeling to be spontaneously appreciated by the pure sincerity of this courteous little lady aged seven years. As the grace of this event developed within my appreciation, I became aware of the need to record that sublime instant where she blossomed in my heart. She was a flower, perhaps a daffodil, which symbolises rebirth and new beginnings synonymous with the season of Spring. (Spring was approaching when this event occurred). The poet William Wordsworth opened his poem with the words:
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils,…
He then finished with the words:
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
Little Lola touched my heart perhaps in the same way as his. I decided to paint her amongst the daffodils.
