work in progress
Detail of work in progress on a new piece "Cruel Sister".
The plan was to have a diptych based on the traditional English folk song "cruel sister" a tale about a jealous twin who drowns her sibling. This has been hard work, there was going to be a gold frieze painted around the border, but in hindsight i think that might be a mistake, which throws the composition out! lots more to do!
Work in progress study of Klimt's "Judith and Holofernes"
I've always loved this Klimt painting and as I'm aiming to paint a gold frieze in my "Cruel Sister" painting I wanted to practice using gold paint, so this study was perfect practice! still needs a lot of work on Judith's face but I'm really happy with the gold!
