Today I finished the underpainting to a picture called The First Grasp Of Rebirth. The hand was painted only in light red, black and white and shows how a minimum of colour can make realistic looking flesh.
I've got lots of paintings ready for glazing now but I think I'll begin the underpainting to the Apocalypse Of Finance this week, that will take many days. I also need to stage and complete a picture for the annual Sue Ryder exhibition in London and start of portrait of my friend Andrew Williams, and finish everything before the end of September. Each day seems long and exhausting.
