Book of Numbers (painting on canvas)


24 x 44 Acrylic on canvas
This is a life painting, meaning it was painted from direct observation of the model. I do very little painting from memory or other reference materials...as I begin to move away from this mode of working I'm sure the work will change. In the meantime, there are years of drawing and life painting which can be used as reference material. Interestingly, in collage there is no direct observation...much more use of the imagination.
