A few days ago, I recycled some paintings I didn’t like, and today I used one to start a new painting. The surface is very sculptural now and I scraped two layers of paint on, the first coat in cadmium orange and the second in mars black (Liquitex Heavy Body acrylic). I’m working from one of my photos, taken in the summer, but at this stage it’s all about colour and texture, not detail.



Already I’m liking it way more than the original one that I painted over!


It has a lot of drama and energy.
A fair few layers to go, methinks
