‘Towards the Blackmount, winter’

‘Towards the Blackmount, winter’, Oil on canvas, 2014, 120 x 120 cm

This large oil painting was completed a few weeks ago before my trip to Brazil.  At the time I thought I’d need to leave it for a while to make sure I was happy with it……and the two week long break for the Open Weekend and the flying visit to Brazil, were perfect.  When I got back to the studio a few days ago and saw this painting, I decided that it was indeed finished.

The painting is based on an earlier smaller piece I did several years ago.  I wanted to try and develop the image in this larger painting and have used thick layers of oil paint put down with a large course brush to build up the surface.

This painting will be included in my forthcoming exhibition at the Harbour Arts Centre in Irvine.  The exhibition runs from November 28^th 2014 – January 09 2015.  I hope you can get along to see this piece.
