Eggs on a Table, Tidmarsh Mill, by Dora Carrington
Dora Carrington was portrayed by Emma Thompson in the film Carrington, which I'd like to see again. She was a painter who used her artistic talents to create a beautiful home and surroundings. She loved a gay man, writer Lytton Strachey, and was so distraught after his death that she killed herself.
See some paintings HERE.
Check out the movie.
And a bit of a bio.
She loved these kinds of colours, I believe, and had painted walls and ... well ... anything that provided a surface, by the sound of it! ... around their homes. Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant did the same, apparently. They painted crockery, and chairs, and you name it.
I love these paintings. So dreamy.
