Sunset No. 1 1998
Early work 1998.
Oil on Canvas.
72"x 72" ( 6ft x 6ft)
Sunsets looking out over tower blocks in West London were the inspiration for this painting. Painted with a light wash and then I slapped thick stand oil mixed with Prussian Blue, Burnt umber and finished off with Guinness of a things. I do not recommend using Guinness as an art application as it will go off, smell and probably fade and not be that great for your canvas.
I ended up having a mouse eat a hole into this painting, so my mother chopped it up into smaller paintings. I had an exhibition in Somerset in the UK and sold the smaller paintings. I have no photos or documentation of the smaller paintings.
