HAD is dancing for joy after being given a valuable painting.
We received the picture from well-known artist Charlotte Fawley.
The painting – “Scheherezade” is of ballet dancer Farouk Ruzimatov, and valued at £600. It will be one of the star attractions at our auction on August 19.
London-based artist Charlotte (pictured here with the painting) is a friend of former Royal Ballet ballerina Bryony Brind, wife of HAD Patron Ian McCorquodale. When Charlotte attended a summer garden party held at fellow HAD supporter Paul Lamorbey’s house she decided to donate the painting, which is also signed by the dancer.
Charlotte has painted all her life and studied at her hometown Blackpool’s art school.
A contemporary of David Hockney, she specialises
in dance and has held exhibitions at London galleries and the Royal Opera House.
“I love drawing figures and painting ballet dancers is a perfect way to do this,”Charlotte, who lists Spanish artists Picasso and Valasquez as her favourites, explained.
