Oil on canvas 24.5 x 30cm
I painted this over an old picture that I wasn't happy with.
I have allowed some of the old picture to become part of the new and deliberately kept the paint loose.
There is always the difficulty in painting of knowing when to stop, and not overstating. I have noticed that with some very finished and technically proficient work, the viewer can feel shut out, as if there is nothing left for them to do: all the Is have been carefully dotted and the Ts crossed.
