A Painted Smile by Frances Fyfield Pdf

Young, rich widow Diana Porteous has inherited a vast collection of paintings, but she feels without purpose again. Then her beloved stepgrandson comes up with the idea for an exhibition of portraits with the title 'A Question of Guilt'. It starts as a joke, but soon they are preparing the huge wine cellar of the old schoolhouse by the sea, in spite of those with misgivings as to its suitability. Soon Di has plenty to occupy her: a mysterious woman encourages Di and her friend Sarah Fortune, both natural thieves, to steal from a public collection. And then there's the life-drawing class, where an artist dies and someone steals from him, placing his finds in the cellar. A novel of conundrums, paintings, moral uncertainties and family relationships, A Painted Smile continues the adventures of two of Frances Fyfield's most beloved characters and will win over many more fans of quality fiction.

Behind the Painted Smile by Gary Cartwright Pdf

'Behind the Painted Smile' is a hard-hitting and shocking account of prolific artist Gary Cartwright's sometimes traumatic life and its affects upon his work. This no-holes-barred account, taken from his personal diaries tells of his struggles, through the ups and the downs, the laughter and the tears. Caught up in a violent relationship; being mentally and physically abused. Struggling with the issues of terminal illness, suicide, death, drug abuse and everyday news headlines, all of which feature somewhere within his work. It tells of his trials and tribulations to keep his head above water to survive, earning himself a reputation for his thought provoking paintings that have made front page news and been the subject of much debate, some of which are now in Museums and Private Collections in England and Europe. Told in graphic detail, this is not a book for the faint hearted as it sends you on a rollercoaster of emotions. It gives you a better insight into the artist himself, his life and his work. "A not to be missed book that you will read over and over again."

Behind a Painted Smile by Rosie Shannon Pdf

I chose to write this particular book, mainly to prove something to myself and other people just how a person such as myself can progress in their lives. After surviving both physical and sexual abuse in my past from a family member. Having to live with the turmoil of placing my children in the care of other families.My worst nightmare of which I had to come to terms with, was when my son Daniel was killed in a road traffic accident in 2001. I chose to write all of my thoughts and emotions down, instead of having any kind of councelling. As each day passes by, I know that with my partner who is so understanding, that I can overcome anything that life chooses to throw at me. Although, I do not allow my emotions to be seen, as each day the first thing I do is put my make up on, which is what I would call my "mask".This to me makes life so much easier as nobody has any idea of what I am thinking or feeling. Each day I write on a calender the events of my daily routine.That is how it became to be written in diary form,and then even I could see the progress I had made in my life.Should I ever be concerned about something, or not be too certain of anything, I think of what my late son Daniel would have told me.He would of said "go for it mum".
