[Paintings from the Street] The Red Shoes

[Nigel Cox]

This is the second painting I have done of Felicity Redman, (First one was "The Opera Singer")
I am always enchanted by her singing . . and her performance & costumes always blow me away.

Strangely enough . . before I knew her I paintied her with full face in view. This time from a top down angle, showing her movement but not the face . . . her family say that this one captures her essence more fully than the previous one . . . how strange is that?
























While speaking with Felicity, she was able to pinpoint the week of the photoshoot and the song she was singing. Seemingly the watch I have painted was new . . and was lost shortly afterwards.

Felicity is someone I can see myself painting again and again over time. A real star and a very beautiful woman.

Felicity is performing at the Edinburgh Festival this month.
