Well hello Series #2! I wasn’t sure what I was going to paint as I set out to work on a series of paintings. Admittedly I am still working away on Series #1 but I think I’m done with Series #2.

The paintings have been through a number of changes – underpainted in the blues/greens before a layer of the reds and then a layer of whites. Some sgraffito for good measure and glazing with transparent paints to bring it all together. I must admit there were points in the this series where I didn’t think it would come together but I’m pretty happy with the final result.

I painted on wood panels rather than canvas substrates and I loved it. I loved the smoothness of the panels; definitely worked better for me than the textured canvas. I will be using wood panels agin!

Here are some photos of the individual pieces:
