drinks & cigarettes, 2011, acrylic and collage on canvas, 76 x 101 cm
This is a commissioned work I started two days ago and finished this morning. Weeks ago, the request was simple: to paint a picture influenced by Sadu weaving. As simple as my goal was, I found myself floundering under the weight of the original painting I started for the job. It just wasn’t working out for me. I decided to go with the flow of where that one was taking me and start afresh with what was to become this one: Drinks & Cigarettes. Thank you, L, for giving me the opportunity and the challenge!
