11th September 2025 Angela & Beena
I am genuinely in awe of Angela’s acrylic painting, a Vase of Roses. Her skill in recreating Odilon Redon’s original is truly impressive. Well done, Angela.
Odilon Redon’s artistic journey is truly inspiring. Born into wealth, his father’s dream for him to become an architect did not materialise. But Redon’s art, mentioned in the novel A Rebours (1884), propelled him to fame as a well-known artist. His keen interest in Hindu and Buddhist cultures, as well as his incorporation of Japanese art styles, is evident in his works.
I hope you enjoy Angela’s art as much as I did. I’ve always found painting roses challenging, which is why I’ve avoided it. But after seeing Angela’s work, I’m inspired to try it. Perhaps you’ll feel the same.
