Underpainting to Three Graves Complete

The underpainting to Three Graves is now complete. It's an unusual style compared to my normal paintings and is perhaps most like my Iran/U.S.A. painting. I've also signed Sun on a Chain, a sister painting to the sunset I've recently completed. The liquid details in the canyon floor looked, in inky ghostly style, like Dali's warring figures or Nowakowksi's dramatic clouds and rocks. The technique I used amounted to a mini discovery of how simply the apparently complex paintings like Dali's Spain were probably painted.

I should have time to do the primary glaze to 31st Century Crucifixion before Art Support returns on the 10th of September.
