Club #3 - A Better Photo of the Finished Painting

[mbarrick]

Here is a better photograph pf the finished painting. It's a shame that the photograph never quite does justice to the real thing. There are simply unphotographable nuances like the difference between carbon black (which is flat and dense and very, very black) and mars black (which is rich and warm and slightly glossy.) There are subtle stripes on Tessa's shirt (the girl in front with her head in her hands) that absolutely pop on the canvas, but are all but invisible here.

If you want my opinion .....well you're getting it anyway.

I think your medium is wrong for your art style.
The type of picturs are not canvas paintings - they are murals
this type of work doesnt need to hang on a wall - it needs to be the wall

This picture reminds me of that Mural of all those people in the Irish Heather

I think what you got here is an artform that needs to leave your canvas

Actually that "mural" at the Irish Heather is on canvas (albeit a large one.) And good thing, too, or they would have been screwed when they had to move across the street because of the construction at Gaoler's Mews. Maybe I should start working larger...

Nonetheless, if someone wants to commission me for a mural, I'd be all over it.
