Oils on Arches huile paper

I've been breaking myself in to working in the studio again after my long absence in France with some small and quick paintings while preparing for my next big studio paintings. I'm particularly pleased with this one! I think it's a classic example of a painting which says everything it needs to say and no more, which is the message I'm always trying to preach. 

In fact yesterday fifteen brave souls attended my 'Painting faster with oils or acrylics' workshop and tried to do just that - making essential decisions and simplifying the subject down to it's important elements. They tackled all my mad projects with gusto and did the most fantastic job! Seventy-five paintings were produced throughout the day and here's just some of them... the results speak for themselves!
