Colette Calascione

I am suffering from a severe case of bloggers amnesia and can’t (for the life of me) remember whether I have told you, that should I ever come into money the first thing I will be doing is gonna get me one of Colette Calascione’s paintings for all the stories that they tell, the history painted into the line of each portraits subjects body, the references to so much art gone before, embroidered sexuality and secrets destined to forever remain untold..

Oh and the colour and pattern… did I mention the glorious overlay of colour and pattern?

I did? Forgive me: age is catching up with me. Thirty seven in a few weeks, twelve years old just yesterday.
