This one seems a little better than the last.
I've used a slightly narrower canvas to crop out the space on either side thus bringing all the focus onto the subject. I've also used a lot of crimson and iron oxide glazes on the finished painting to add (I hope) a rich lustre.
Hope you like it.

| "Reflections 2" John Simlett Acrylic on Cotton Canvas 30 x 20 inches |
The North wind doth blow and we shall have snow,
And what will poor robin do then, poor thing?
He'll sit in a barn and keep himself warm
and hide his head under his wing, poor thing.
John, all I can say about this is BRILLIANT! Well done John.

DeleteNicely done, John! And yes, you did indeed achieve a deep and rich luster. Hope your weather has settled down a bit and poor Robin can untuck his head!
ReplyDeleteIt must be a good feeling to know you stuck with it and solved the areas you did not like, so beautifully.
ReplyDeletePat of the back, old chap and a "well done" thrown in for good measure.
Lots of emotional quality in this and that matters to me. I feel a glow when I look at it.
Such a masterpiece! I love the reflections! Take care. :)
