I love movies! One of my favorite hobbies is collecting classic movies. Most of my collection is from the golden age of Hollywood (1930 -1950). I am a TCM (Turner Classic Movie) fanatic!

Sometimes while watching a movie, a particular scene will genuinely inspire me. It will become trapped in my mind and I will have to release it onto the canvas. That is what happened when I saw Adrian Lyne’s 2002 movie “Unfaithful”. In this scene, the protagonist falls asleep upon her lover after a romantic tryst. The exhausted passion resonated with me.

I LOVE THIS SCENE! It has everything I look for when I paint; ambience, simplicity and sensuality. The ultimate movie magic!
