New art, The Last Scent

My latest piece, just finished. This one reeks of me. I think anyone who knows my work, and especially my early paintings, would instantly know who was behind this image. I did it completely from my imagination, in a not-so-efficient manner. I tried an experiment of starting with a composition and color scheme I liked, then staring at it until suggestions of subject matter emerged. Slowly this tableaux evolved. What I like about doing this sort of work is that it’s completely unpremeditated, so the result will be a surprise even to me.

I’ll write more about this tomorrow, add close-ups, interpretation, a bit about the process…
