| 'Daffs, a Dunnock and First Light' - Acrylic paint on Canvas - George Roberts Spring 2025. |
Final push today in the Cabine to finish the painting. All that remains to be done is to apply a coat or two of matt varnish. If you are out there, Ransome, and reading this, -" I hope you liked the painting's title, and probably a lot better than the brush strokes"!
I took Anita's sage advice and lifted 'the daffs' tonally, added some highlights generally and extended the 'surreal affect' by increasing the cloud cover and adding a watery Sun.
Now 'Van Gogh' it aint, so why do I spend hours knocking out this stuff other than to keep 'The Range' art supplies department in cash?
I gave this perplexing question some thought, whilst I painted quietly in the Cabine. It was quiet because I forgot to turn on the radio.
Eureka!!!!-
