Arthur

4/27/2019

I painted Arthur at the start of this year.........he took January and February to complete. He has so much hair!!!!
Oil paintings always take quite a while to finish, mainly because they are painted in layers and each layer needs to dry before the next. Arthur has about three layers of paint, his background has about 5 I think! I could not decide how I wanted the background at first but I loved how the blue made Arthur pop out, I also really wanted gold in this painting so I used my fingers to give the background a metallic gold luster. I quite often use my fingers to paint the backgrounds on my paintings.......not sure why apart from that I love the texture it gives.
Arthur is framed in a high quality black frame........I think the frame sets him off a treat, what do you think?

I entered Arthur into the Jackson’s Open Painting Prize 2019, he got through to the long-list but that's as far as he went. I am super proud he got that far to be honest...... he was one of 421 selected out of an incredible 5366 entries. Top banana!!!
I have and will be entering him into other competitions over the year, so watch this space........I will give you updated about how he gets on.
