These tend to be larger paintings, often projects that have occupied me for many months.
MASSACRE OF THE INNOCENTS, AFTER POUSSIN
oil on canvas 34" x 29" cat 649 2018
I made a copy or my own version of Poussin's Massacre of the Innocents because another painter who I admired, Euan Uglow, had made his own version of this painting. I didn't look at Uglow's painting while I was painting my version. I walked in both mens footsteps finding solutions to the same problems that they would have encountered.
I lived for a decade in an almost derelict house on Norland Square (in the days when such things were still possible). Leighton House was a short walk away across Holland Park and provided a perfect subject for an interior.
