Sleeping giant. 30cm square, oil on board.
This was one of those works that evolved without a reference photo. It wasn’t until I had finished and stepped back (title firmly in my head with reference to a mountain or the way foliage can look animated) that I saw the profile of someone sleeping.
Amazing how the subconscious works.
it’s lovely! it does look rather mystical with the glowing foggy light.
very mystical and calming:)
