I had never heard of the Norwich-born British artist Eloise Harriet Stannard until I discovered her on Wikipedia and used a detail from her Christmas Still Life (oil on canvas) to create a book cover for The Romantic Manifesto. Such luscious colours and textures, such exquisite detail. Just look at those part-peeled oranges and you will start salivating. I believe I’ve seen the painting before — probably a chocolate box or two — but had never known the artist responsible.

Good morning Sarah….I agree this is beautiful and I love the applications you have used. Sadly, it’s typical that a female artist of her standards is not generally known. I certainly have not heard of her…and so thank you for the lovely start to my day and introduction. Keep smiling:) Janet. xx

I love Still Lifes and there are always little quirky things to be found. You’re right that nowadays we can get to know many artists we would never hear about otherwise. Thanks so much. And I love all the objects (the tray and the lamp are particularly gorgeous!)

Fantastic design Sarah. What a character this artist, Eloise – love that she is painting with her hat on (always a lady). I’m going to have to do some research on her – wonderful paintings.
