Oberon
19x9” piece (1.5” deep) from my limited edition Monet’s Fairies collection! Photographic composite, mounted on ebony-stained birch panel. UV protection varnish applied, ready to hang.
Layers: lily pads are from Monet’s famous pond in Giverny, overlayed with images from the stained glass ceiling of a Parisian restaurant popular among artists both present and past. The “fairies” are lights in the window of a Paris salon. All of these images were taken during my artists’ residency in Paris during the fall of 2019.
Name: King of the Fairies, whom I first met in Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream, which is my favourite of all of his plays. This piece really shows off the beautiful autumn leaves that had started to fall onto Monet’s lily pond when I was in Giverny in October.
