New Painting: ‘Coal barges – Battersea’
Oil on mdf 18 x 24 in.
Coal Barges Battersea was inspired by an old magazine clipping of black & white photograph (A Thames Sunset – Donald McLeish 1879-1950). I am very much influenced by Neo – Romantic themes of timelessness and Spirit of Place’ so it interested me greatly and I decided use it for a new painting. For this, I decided to reuse and paint over a an old painting, which I prepared by sanding down, scraping back before priming, which I thought would enhance texture. In order to create a sense of the sublime and timelessness I decided to keep it monochrome using just 3 colours: Van Dyke Brown, Warm grey and Titanium White painting with brushes and painting knives.
Framed in 2″ wide white painted hardwood frame
