(ENG) A truly cool English artist, Frances Bell. Her works are either portraits or scenes of people by water, yet all are executed with immense attention to detail without the actual details—directly following the principles of Sargent. Traditional techniques, simply people, alive, posing. Frances claims she works solely from life, no photographs involved. Observe how splendidly she conveys colors and shapes, “with a single stroke”.
