Flamenco Passion


Mixed Media, 11" x 15",
Commission
When lorely Griffiths commissioned me to do this painting, her only requirements were, size and the theme of Flamenco.
This mixed media is on watercolour paper, started with a wet-into-wet wash of watercolour, once dried, chalk pastels used for finishing. Choice of vibrant reds and sweeping strokes in this montage composition were used to convey the passion of Flamenco.

Evening Glow

Mixed media, 8.5" x 12"
$ 200.00

Chalk pastels on watercolour paper, perhaps one of my few smaller works. Prior to the live portrait session, water colour was slapped on the paper and allowed to dry. Reflection of the soft light entering the room in the glasses of the elegant lady, was a joy to capture.
