ANN'S GALLERY

MID SOMMER SPRITE

Ann Jacqueline Davies

works with all types of media and image. She particularily loves painting watercolour landscapes and seascapes especially in the Chinese style but is mostly commissioned to paint portraits which have an unusual difference.

Her landscapes are weathered and emotional and her seascapes developing the energy of the sea itself.

All Portrait Painters work towards creating an image of the person which also fulfills the personality and spiritual essence of that person, however, Ann Jacqueline, goes a little bit further and recreates the person allowing the spirit of the person to motivate the image rather than image as image. Portraits are commissioned with a particular artist in mind and a style (almost 'past life' reality)

Your portrait can be recreated as a part of history or style.

If you look below you can see Dr. Marisa Marinelli's portrait in the style of Vermeer.
