Description




This bird portrait painting is of an Albatross. Its painted in multiple layers of pastel colour. The application is reminiscent of Cezanne's mark who has been an influence in my work. The intent for me though is to create a shifting sense of light and form. Futhermore, the title means "The sign" and in that respect I have integrated into the form of the bird a sign of a powerful spirit.
