Master Study of John William Waterhouse

“Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it, While they are deciding, make even more art.”

– Andy Warhol

Welcome, welcome to my June update!

I have some more new paintings to show to my lovely customers. The first is an oil painting I want to share (a study of an existing painting) and also some semi-abstract florals in acrylic. Oh, and make sure you’re on the newsletter list to get exclusive subscriber offers!

John William Wtarehouse master study of a detail of the original painting

Master study based on a detail of John Waterhouse’s painting Boreas

The original painting was named after the god of the north wind, and depicts a woman in the pre-Raphaelite-style battling the elements. After some thought I decided to paint a section of this famous painting in order to explore the beautiful composition, expresssion and lighting. This master study in oils is now available for sale.

Create a wonderful welcoming contemporary space with white walls and some gorgeous plants juxtaposed with an oil painting from a master study. Just a detail from a classic painting cropped to show the stunning composition with the placement of the arm and the curve of the fabric billowing in the wind. More information >>>
