OK I'm back to painting after a lay off for about ten days during which I did interesting things like getting my tax books ready....
I think it's just as well that I had that break as I have realised that IX isn't that far away and I need to get some paintings done to take there. In a way I'm a victim of my own recent success as many of the paintings I would have taken are already sold so I have a potential dilemma of marking some upcoming paintings as not for sale so that I can take them to IX - is this a mistake and should always sell when somebody wants to buy it?....
It is also time to abandon for the moment the series that I was working on, I can come back to that afterwards and indeed the other series that I have in mind, "The Golden Hour".
This is the initial tonal underpainting for an Orientalist scene called "Souk Al Medina" and is loosely based on a Midjourney piece. It's my usual mix of Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple thinned with Liquin and applied with a rag and brush.
Oil on fine cotton 16" x 12".
