I’ve
recently spent six months based in the UK. I took lots of art projects to do
while I was there, but never seemed to get time.
This
painting of the Finger Stone, in the Staffordshire part of the Peak District
National Park, is my latest art work. I actually started it a while ago on a
previous visit to the UK. I painted it on black paper and thought it needed a
lot more work, but when I looked at it again I realised that the black paper
showing through adds to the broodiness of the subject. All it took to finish it
off was to crop the bottom off as that wasn’t finished and didn’t add to the composition.
I’m
happy with the result and think it’s looser than my usual work. I hope you like
it too.
