TCM: Grace Kelly Films

Turner Classic Movies will be showing Hitchcock's Rear Window on Monday, Nov. 30. Also of interest for Grace Kelly fans, TCM online screens a clip written and narrated by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco remembering his mother, Grace Kelly. It is a very touching and revealing commentary. You can watch the video here. Thanks to Bruce Evans for sending me this info!

Grace Kelly - Rear Window

Acrylic on bristol board, 30x40 cm

My second painting of Grace Kelly for my exhibition in Monaco next week, this one from Rear Window. I wanted a still that had a good close up of her face and a background with some depth. Not easy given the limited setting of this film! Lots of long shots, or glamour shots with an uninteresting background. I liked the casual look and colour of the shirt.

Fire and Ice 1 & 2

Fire and Ice 1 and 2 are now complete. I will frame them separately but sell them as a pair. Working on a sketch now for the Monaco show Dec. 3 of Grace Kelly from Dial M for Murder. Keeping with the theme of film in the principality.

Fire and Ice 1

Fire and Ice - Part I Acrylic on Bristol board 40 x 30cm

I really enjoyed working on a sketch with so much movement, I'm going to do a sequence of this referencing the two or three frames after. I love the snow with the blue and red.
