I am having so much fun doing these city paintings, since I do so many rural scenes. I hope they go over well at KC show, because I am sure going to have a lot of them.
About Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde, the clever, colorful Anglo-Irish writer, is best known for the play The Importance of Being Earnest and the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray.
He was born in Dublin in 1854 but left when his lady love became
engaged to Bram Stoker. He was a leading member of the aesthetic
movement and embraced its doctrine, “Art for art’s sake.” Though married
with two children, Wilde was known to have affairs with younger men and
was jailed in 1895 for “gross indecency.” He died in November 1900.
