My oil paintings:  Imaginative realism 

                                                       
                                   
Pierrot forlorn

"Oh, weep for Adonais"
(12x16, 2014)
We visited the house of Keats (where he died) in Rome this summer.  The house is now a museum - "Keats-Shelley Memorial House", although Shelley never went there.  Shelley wrote a poem "Adonais", an elegy on the death of Keats. That gives me the inspiration fo the title of this painting.
