Thank you. It is an oil painting on canvas. I love the great colorists, such as Gauguin, Bonnard, Odilon Redon. I also love to put abstract forms in the underpainting of my work which is always figurative. So my paintings begin as abstractions and end as representational works. But I do frontload - I always know what imagery I will lay over my abstraction. I play a lot with my compositions in photoshop because there are always interesting and unexpected events and I enjoy being surprised.

I’d be interested to see shots in progress of your process.
