Faces reveal expressions. This is what attracted Ann to paint these faces.

She started painting about eight years ago at Neilson Park Creative Centre. NPCC is the first training that Ann has had as an artist. The instructors at NPCC have guided her to embrace various styles of painting. Impressionistic art seems to fit her well.

The faces she has chosen to exhibit here were chosen because she believes they portray an emotion. Leonard Cohen, is a portrait of a gentleman who often wore beautiful tailored suits and hats. In addition, his eyes portray a light of mischievousness so cleverly portrayed in his poetic lyrics.

Pensive is a reminder of the pensive thought of a beautiful old woman.

The portrait Relief shows relief, possible due to a warm shower or  rain to cool in the heat.

Rapture is a portrait of a young woman in rapture, possible from beautiful music, the scent of a flower or the sound of a bird. The reason is a secret.

A Secret is a  portrait of a girl with a secret who is stylishly dressed, beautiful and young.

Ann was encouraged to exhibit these particular portraits because they are her grandchildren’s favourites. Consistently, they have selected the faces which show an emotion.
