Oil on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

After completing my most recent pair of Focus and Release titled portraits I felt a strange sense of stagnation, whilst i like them a great deal I felt I had hit a creative plateau with them, this has spuured my decision to commence working in oils again which I have not done for a number of years since my Portrait of a Man series in 2015 and 16. I look forward to seeing how this choice to change paints in my abstract style will impact the rest of my artistic practices, perhaps i will commence doing my realistic portraits and landscapes in oils again. This one is a self portrait of me during the short lived period of stagnation I hit recently.
