Day 2 – Amy joins the gang
16 May 2022
Completed on Day 2 of Dorset Art Weeks is my portrait of the remarkable Amy Winehouse.
She'll stay on the easel for a while as other commitments keep me out of the studio (Sally and David remain 'on duty'), but I'll be back on Tuesday by which time I'll have my next victim ready for the treatment. It will be weeks, though, before the painting is dry enough to take for professional scanning and printing (should have her ready for Art@Eype in mid-July).
My 'Music Icon' oil-on-canvas series is growing nicely now but it'll be a long time before I run out of potential subjects as people keep suggesting more – I'll end up needing bigger walls! Prints of the earlier subjects are available now but the originals will be released for sale early in October at my Athelhampton exhibition.
Meanwhile... two more weeks of DAW!
