So I’ve finally been able to photograph my new painting and am very excited to share with you my new work…I feel there is progression from my previous works from my exhibition The Way We Were. It is still similar to my past work but has started to move in a slightly different direction, perhaps less personal (I’m not sure yet). I’m still working on ideas, so this is actually kind of a test piece for me to try out my new ideas, as sometimes no matter how hard I try to picture what direction I’d like my paintings to move in, it’s not really the same until I actually work on a painting that all the pieces kind of fall into place. It’s always the final step in my own understanding of my work.
So here it is…and I’ve already started working on a new piece too!
Now I do have to say that this post is only up temporarily for a couple of days, as I am entering the Royal Bank of Canada’s Painting Competition with this piece (fingers crossed, as I’ve entered a few years in a row now with no luck yet, but who knows…!), and one of their requirements is that I remove the painting from my website while they are in the judging process. It will eventually be put back up online in a couple of months time. In the meantime, if you check back often, I’ll add some new images of the painting I’m currently working on. I moved back to working larger, at least in comparison to how small my miniatures are, so the new painting is 90 x 120 cm (36 x 48 in) and so far so good.
