Project 1 Extension.

I found it difficult to just switch off from my fist project in which I chose to do painting.  The four weeks didn't seem nearly enough as I felt I was only just getting into the ideas I wanted to explore and it was so nice getting back to painting at last!.  So I decided I would start another painting that could tick along as I get time and run alongside project 2.




After having worked small and fiddly with the Piper painting I decided I needed to work as big as possible.  This is probably as big as my kitchen and practicalities will allow.  (having become some sort of kitchen/office/studio hybrid).  It's on board and approximately 60 x 74cm and already I'm finding it so much easier to paint being a larger scale.  It still ties in with the project 1 theme which includes contemplating perception and sense of reality, a very subjective reality in this case.  Although not in my thoughts originally, I suppose it could be classed as a vanitas type painting and it does contain personal significance and symbolism.
