“Study for Libya Serpent Seizing its Prey”
Oil on Canvas c.1803 by James Ward (1769-1859)

An early Saturday morning from getting an allergy test, I was exhausted and bruised from all the poking. I had two friends meet me at the British Arts to enjoy the Museum Experience. I took free tour.
The first level was very open with and information desk. My first stop was the British Artist in India room. The painting “Dancing Girl” captured my attention. “Dancing Girl” was painted by Tilly Kettle (1735-1786); the painting is oil on canvas painted in 1772.

The lighting appeared to beam off of the Dancing Girls’ jewelry giving it a warm feeling while l observing it. The Jewelry made her appear wealthy. The capture told the story of her being a

the other her were sitting on the left of the painting. Did her jewelry or her beauty intrigue the other women?
The impression I took from this collection was royalty.
Work in Progress

Looking at the “Work in Progress” painted by Stanley William Hayter (1901-1988) can be interrupted differently. “Work in Progress” is an oil and casein on panel painted in 1936. The first impression I saw was a man and women twisted together while in a struggle. The second impression was multi-racial man sitting on the ground with his strong muscular legs, holding up a young white female by her waist (in her mint green skirt) protecting her from harms way. The lining showed outlining of two individuals.

Painted by Joseph Wright of Derby (1734-1797)
Oil on canvas 1771
The impression I took from the collection was amazement the on loker as this work in progress took place. It appeared that one has to be highly skill to do such a job. The bright light was the only light in this painting.

The artist was to give the impression that something is happening that is of far great dreaatic, even historiacl signifance.
The lighting was was dim.Thf focus was in the work that was being created, the strong worker and the effect the lighting provided.
