A quick little study piece.
For me, there is nothing quite as exciting as painting a little silk cloth! My method with this little painting has been: grisaille and over glazing in acrylics to achieve the shine and deep colour.

Working on this beauty today…
I had forgotten just how much I enjoy painting still-lifes! More of these to come I am sure. Here’s one in acrylic I painted over the weekend for my kitchen. I love the simplicity of this composition. And I love the way the black (the queen of all colours ) makes all the other colours vibrate. After I photographed this I gave it a heavy coat of boat varnish to protect it from the usual kitchen splashes! This also caused the colours to jump out even more.
Today I completed this art deco painting which will be a headboard over a bed in our home. I am a huge admirer of artist Tamara de Lempicka. Those familiar with her work will see a resemblance to one of her paintings in this piece. I will give it a high gloss varnish tomorrow and will hopefully have the time to paint a Versace inspired frame for it too.
Am currently working on a large and ambitious classical style painting. Here’s a peek at one of the main characters.
I have been working intensely on ths painting over the past weeks. Thought I might share my progress so far …
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.
