Medium
Painting - Oil On Mounting Board
Description
This is a portrait of myself, the first time I have done one. It is painted in oils on mounting board sized at 23” x 33” approximately. The world was going through an interesting time while this was done, as most people were in lock down due to Covid-19, during spring 2020. I also had the virus before this was painted, but suffered from various knock on effects where the symptoms would be constantly appearing and disappearing. As I was not going out I gave up shaving and my hair was allowed to grow as having it cut was not possible.
In this set up I can be seen holding my wooden kidney palette. Behind me, on an easel is a picture painted a few months ago featuring St Pauls cathedral in London. On the same size board as the portrait.
