Some weeks ago, when Autumn was at it's peak with it's colourful show, I went hunting with the camera for interesting subjects to photograph. There will be a separate post with those photos.
The Belvedere Palace gardens, are one of my favourite places to go for a walk in the fresh air and sunshine. In a corner the gardens, there are a number of recesses in the wall decorated with statues and then framed with bushes. I happened upon it at just the right time, where the sunlight was shining through the leaves making an interesting pattern of shadows.
This became my inspiration for this latest small painting, "Lady of the Garden", 12 x 17cm, acrylic and oil on card.
The painting was first of all started with acrylics, as this allowed me to work quickly, as well as sealing and protecting the card from the oil paint which then became the finishing layers.
Depending upon the response, I might do more of these small works.
