Beauty and the Beast

The Beast and his Beauty have been a favorite couple of mine, celebrated in several paintings including this watercolor stroll in a midnight garden, and the “ice cream period” intimate supper done in oils. Although I enjoy looking at other visions, my beast is very much the handsome leonine creature of Cocteau’s film, with his exquisitely magical castle. I was also fond of Vincent from the Beauty and the Beast television series.
