Dog with Painter

Photograph of Liza Hirst by Rip Hopkins


Well, yes, I am also in the book Another Country by Rip Hopkins...
Next to me our old dog Louis, who usually doesn't favour sitting in a wheelbarrow.
By the way, the painting behind me with the children, isn't finished yet.

Paul and Antony

Paul and Antony painted by Liza Hirst, photographed by Rip Hopkins

Our move is now in the end phase, only three more weeks in our old house and very much work to do. So I hardly get round to painting and thought I would show you where two of my paintings went to. This is a photo by the photographer Rip Hopkins, that he published in a book about the english people in this area, the Dordogne, titled "Another Country". I was very pleased to see that he decided to photograph these two gentlemen besides their portraits, painted by me.

Something quite different today. This beautiful flower bouquet was brought to me this morning by Anapaula, a lovely young Italian woman, who enrolled in a private painting course with me. Since Monday we have spent four half days together, exploring different aspects of painting and having lots of fun. I was very touched when she presented this "explosion" of flowers to me on our final day and immediately decided to paint them.

Another couple of young men, the following morning, still a bit worn from the wedding party the night before.
