Just received the brilliant news that I’ve a work accepted for exhibition at The Royal West of England Academy’s Autumn exhibition. Yaaay!
Here’re (in reverse order, because I can’t figure out how to upload photos in the proper sequence) some shots of a work in progress. Unfortunately, one forgot to take photos of the first three stages of the
work. Sorry about that. However, I can tell you this. The first three stages were rubbed in with a basic triad
and a very light-bodied two-week old No-Sun oil and the subsequent layers were painted with a slightly, heavier-bodied three-week oil.

Started the painting with raw umber, black and yellow ochre and gradually added lead white and
vermillion to the mix – all that scumbling and glazing’s brought about some wonderfully quiet colour nuances in the darker and middle tones – they’re diaphenously thin and almost scintillating. The lights
are whacked on…
…You can tell that I’m happy with this one.
