Artwork Description

This painting is a tribute to my late friend Leonard Cohen and a song he wrote known as "Bird on the Wire". I knew Leonard from Hydra island, Greece where he wrote this song in the 1960s. The silhouette is Leonard. I used a page on "Eggs of Central European Song-Birds" from Chambers's 1924 Encyclopaedia as a reference. I like to mix surface textures.
The numbers relate to important dates in Leonard's life.
This painting was exhibited in RECLAIM August 2022 at Newcastle Art Space (NAS) NSW

Art School at 18 and later studied Art History at Oxford University. Lived in Florence, Italy for many years where I worked as an art critic. My second home is on the Greek island of Hydra. I moved there in 1986 and married French artist Michel Le Goff, on Hydra in 1993. I currently work from a home studio in Newcastle, NSW and visit Hydra, when possible.
