Jan/Feb 2010. Oil on Canvas, 50 x 50 cm.
This post is slightly out of chronological order as I did both of these two paintings before Moon & Son.
I guess the inspiration is fairly obvious.
I originally intended them to be closer in style and colour, but ended up doing #2 when the first one was in a different location and thus had no reference beyond memory (which is what it is, no comments necessary ).
My wife persuaded me to try gold and silver oil paints, which was not really something I had planned to use.
Ever.
I must admit though, that it makes for a nice effect when you blend it with other colors. So much so that I used both extensively for Moon & Son.
