READING BY AN IMAGINARY LAKE

oil over acrylic on a beautiful cradled panel I won from the company Artists’ Surfaces, in the collaboration they do on Instagram with Artist Support Pledge. It is 40 x 30 cm and 3 cm deep. I tried to be too careful with it on the first go round, but for this final version I mostly used a palette knife and quite thick oil paint.

It’s the same distant figure reading on a deckchair in the park in Paris. The photo made the wall of the Orangerie grounds look like a lake, so I went with that.
