A recent oil on canvas painting I completed. There's nothing like the smell of a freshly painted canvas in the studio.
This painting is a "sister" piece to a smaller one (Girl with Lip Ring) which recently joined Luciano Benetton's collection of Italy and included in the book "Looking Down-under - Australian Contemporary Art 2016".
I enjoyed painting that one so much I took some time out recently from some magazine commissions to work on this one.
She is now completed and framed. I added a nice protective glaze over the top and the rich warm colours have come up looking beautiful.
Happy for her to go to a good home for anyone with a red.. I mean blue thumb!

Artfully,
Leith
