In the process of backing up a load of files, I found this run of images. These are the working “drawings” for my painting December. They are in chronological order so you can see how the image developed over time (a month or so?).
All the photographic elements are things I found in the street or in shop windows. Who is that masked man? It’s a process of accretion and deletion…What to keep and what to throw away?
And here is the final painting…
December, acrylic paint and watercolour pencil on canvas, 80 x 80 cm, 2018

Fascinating process & outcome.
Thanks very much Joseph!
Most welcome.
Fantastic. Really enjoyed seeing the process. I think a lot of creative process ends up on the floor and we never see it.
Thanks very much Dale!
Yes, for me it’s intetesting to see what people choose not to do/ keep in a work. I’m working on some new paintings snd forcing myself to make a lot more decisions on the fly.
