Eolande by Hamish Blakely

Above all, Hamish Blakely loves to paint people, and here is the proof that he does so extremely well. Blakely says he is inspired by the less obvious things in life.

For instance, a non-posed image of a model backstage at a fashion show caught completely of guard, but still radiating with beauty as the light catches her face at striking angles by chance.

This piece by Hamish Blakely is a great example of this more subtle, less obvious beauty. Eolande's beauty looks as though it has been caught off guard, as although her figure is positioned it doesn't look staged.

It feels as though we have caught her in a fleeting moment; a snapshot of her movement where the light has caught the beauty of her shoulder line.
