Note : I tend not to plan what I paint ahead of my creations and, at times, I write poems that illustrate the images after I have painted them. In the Purple Forest is a typical 'Beezy' painting. It has components which often feature in my works, a surreal figurative subject set in an open landscape. The landscape here is based on the Namibian desert, I use my own photographs as reference. The pyramid was an image I used a lot in my earlier work. The main subject of the crazy woman in an extended unreal pose is inspired by the Egyptian Goddess, Nut, who has fascinated me for many years. Her extraordinary shape, almost childlike, illustrates her all-encompassing command of the heavens, yet appears here as a modern woman, complete with handbag, as if out shopping. - Beezy Bailley, September 2016.
