Madagascan Nude Version 2

From the same photograph by Gian Paulo Barbieri which I used in Picture no 2.35. I have painted a more abstract and much less attractive picture. It is very rough textured. I experimented with mixing fine sawdust into my acrylic undercoat to give a very rough texture to the board. I then painted with very thick paint and the result is what you see here.

Size H48in W24in Dated: 20-07-98

Medium: Acrylic on reinforced hardboard with integral frame

Price: £300 or $435

Following this painting, I still intend to paint a "New Realism" detailed work (2.55) and an even more abstract work (go to 2.40) all from the same photograph.

Aside from the fact that I want to do it, some critics want to see some themeing in an artist's work. Well painting the same subject four different ways certainly makes a useful series.
