I've been getting interested in painting again recently. This was done for a competition quite a few years back - part of a set of pix for THE GREAT GATSBY. I've reworked this as a nightime shot - painted in acrylics with digital finishes.
Thanks Dan ! I thought this one might slip under the radar here - not being the usual pen/ink/colour stuff and being from the Archives if you like. Back in the late 1980's I did alot of easel painting illustrations for Womans magazines mostly. They used to run fiction that needed art - a great way in for hungry young artists to get work. I should root a few more out - the semi decent ones.
I keep thinking about working at the easel again but then the computer sucks me in and seems easier. Maybe in 2010...
Just brilliant, lovely, juicy brushstrokes, great framing, fantastic use of light and dark. Love it to bits!
