The Secret Keeper 40" x 30" oil gold metal leaf on canvas is a new painting by artist Honora Jacob. Also included in the images are two other paintings that were recently completed. Here is an article that goes into detail about her new series of paintings. How they’re dressed and what they carry – the go-to signifiers in portraiture since the cave are drawings are vitally important here.
"The Lexington artist Honora Jacob seems to be taking her place on this continuum in “Myths, Legends and Lore,” a striking set of twelve oil-and-gold-leaf portraits of women of history and legend at the Lexington Art League (LAL) . Like Holbein, she understands the power of the direct, largely straight-on, essentially confrontational gaze. And like Wiley, she appreciates the ability of classic endpaper, wallpaper and textile designs (of the sort associated with William Morris, among others) to convey richness and complexity and add visual interest. (Jacob seems to agree with Georgia O’Keeffe, who once described her art practice as “filling a space in a beautiful way.”) To these influences, she has added certain tropes of medieval, Renaissance and Byzantine art, in particular luxurious gold leaf and icon-like spheres that frame the faces in most of these portraits. Divinity is not implied here, presumably, but perhaps something like sainthood, even a kind of queenship, with or without geographical realms to rule.

BIO Honora Jacob received her first Bachelors Degree in Communication Arts from the University of Texas to pursue a career as an advertising art director. Twenty-two years later, a move to Kentucky provided her with time to reflect on her life path. She then turned her attention to a career change following her first passion, painting, and returned to university to receive her second Bachelors Degree, a B.F.A. in Studio Arts. After which, she attended the Masters of Fine Arts program in Painting at the University of Kentucky. A return to Texas in 2003, initiated a period of dividing her time between the U.S. and the U.K., where the experience of living as a non-native provided inspiration for her early narrative works. Fast forward to 2018, Ms. Jacob relocated to Kentucky once again, where she currently resides full-time. My recent work, “Contemporary Histories” and “Myths, Legends and Lore” consists of narrative portraits of women from life and fiction. Gleaned from history, mythology and legendary tales, the women that inhabit these works range from icons and role models to feminine identities.

"White Gold Lilies for the Dove of Peace" Contemporary Figurative Oil Painting
By Sax Berlin
Located in Brecon, Powys
A masterwork from a master artist,White Gold Lilies for the Dove of Peace is an immaculate piece, pure colours balanced with earthy hues imbue the work with shades of sumptuous richness seldom found outside the great collections. Nuance and symbolism combine within the elements of this painting to create an artistic journey through antiquity; Japanese wood block design, the language of flowers, even the colours themselves combine so masterfully to complete the piece.
In this large ground breaking painting Berlin has used bright vermillion & turquoise powered tones, volcanic glass and rock garnered from the slopes of Mount Vesuvius create texture and the use of the finest hand ground pigments and pure white gold leaf escalate this seminal piece to a higher plane.
This magnificent painting offers the pinnacle of modern fine art...
