Bertie Charles Forbes
An Open Heart
2.5″ x 3.5″ Watercolor on Strathmore Textured ATC
If I was to stay with my window project theme of a woman’s emotions, I would say this one is an open heart. Maybe she is a little gray and not as shiny as she once was, but she is still receptive and open to whatever the day may bring.
About Bertie Charles Forbes
Bertie Charles Forbes, known as B.C. Forbes, is remembered as the founder of the long-running Forbes magazine, aimed at investors. He was born in 1880 in Scotland. He worked as a reporter for a Dundee newspaper until 1901, when he moved to South Africa and founded a newspaper there; but he stayed just three years before moving to the United States, where he became a financial editor and columnist. His sons Bruce and Malcolm succeeded him as editors-in-chief of Forbes. He died in 1954.
