Finished and gone!

My painting is finally complete and though the photo above isn't too brilliant it's not too far from what was on the easel.

My friends that commissioned the piece came to collect it this morning and were  pleased. It had been an anxious morning - I always worry whenever I do a commission - it's a bit like exposing your baby to the harsh glare of the real world....

The final title became

EVENT HORIZON.

 I am unable to explain this title I fear - titles just appear when I am working. This was no different and it wormed its way into my consciousness.

Finished.....

Well - my big piece is finished but as those who commissioned it have not yet seen it - no photos......

Day 5

 

Getting near the end now I think. The colour is not quite true in the photo. There are some wonderful things happening between the boundaries of the colours at the top. It will be AGES before it dries and I can get more detailed photos. I enjoy seeing what the pigment does when I leave it to its own devices........

Day 4

Well - it's coming along...........

Day 3 painting

Am beginning to put on colour but have been rather seduced by a very dense, light-absorbing black. Interesting..........

The work begins...........

I begin by swamping the canvas in pigment. This is a very satisfying thing to do, watching how the colours melt into each other creating a foundation on which to build.

That's all for now - it needs to be dry............
