Inspiration for "Beauty in the Night"

Bryan Hollerbach from the Ladue News Magazine writes in his interview with B Extraordinaire Artist, Jane Reed, "One can scarcely go awry with an allusion to the Georgian-era English poetic giant George Gordon, Lord Byron, as Jane Reed’s Beauty in the Night (shown here) suggests. That 24- by 18-inch acrylic on canvas takes its title, more or less, from Byron’s 1814 classic “She Walks in Beauty” and itself dates from 2019. Reed, a Sunset Hills resident, describes it as “a conceptual piece. While painting this work, I wanted to express the ‘flowerness’ of flowers."
