Morning Mist

2019

Oil colour on 37 x 46 cm prefab canvas.

Seeing the original photo of this painting's commissioner got quite worried. It was so fascinating that I wondered whether I could be upto the task and even try. The most troublesome element was obviously the light and mist but also the gliding tones of the water proved a challenge.

My version doesn't do full justice to the photo but I'm glad the commissioner was satisfied. This was an educating piece in many respects: technically and with respect to seeing/perceiving and patience. My thanks go to the commissioner for her trust. It is a big thing to fully understand that in the source photo there's something very dear and important to someone and then to get this kind of position of trust.

The painting has been sold and no prints can be ordered of this one.
