I think this was the painting that marked a significant shift in my style from hard-edge to a more realistic and detailed approach. I had been working on smaller studies and experiments before painting this, however, it was sort of my first fully-fledged painting attempted in realism and using quite a large canvas…80cm x 120cm.
At this point it was still work in progress with many layers to follow…my husband had sneaked up on me to take this picture while I was probably experiencing a state of flow, being entirely focused on the task at hand.
