Parched - Reworked

Greetings,

I spent another day painting over the dress of the figure in Parched. It has a much softer look with more flow and I'm glad I spent this extra time on it. All I can see when I close my eyes now is pleats and folds in fabric!

Compare this to the original image of this figurative painting I posted the other day.

This painting will be in Tauranga's Masterpiece exhibition along with seven more of my paintings, as well as works by nine other Tauranga artists.

Parched - Figurative Painting

Parched

Parched soil surrounds the figure as she reaches down to feel it's dryness, reminiscing on days when it was fertile and productive. I have adapted this piece from an earlier work I painted in 2005 called St Martin's Summer (seen below at the end of the post) where figures in the background were gathering apples. The new painting now focuses on one main figure, with only the memory of more fertile times.

Bryce Brown emailed saying "I decided to spend another 2 days on this painting! I feel it's my best Mother and child piece yet."

Bryce also told me that he's working on a second, larger mother and child piece which has quite a Polynesian feel to it. He's hoping to send out an image next week sometime.
