Looking for Diego Velázquez

I wanted to gain an understanding of how Diego Velázquez painted. I have found the best way to do this is to mimic the artist's style. For this reason, I have embarked on a 12-month study of the painting Las Meninas. I intend to do each portrait as a detail. It would be my hope at the end of this that not only would I have a bunch load of paintings but a deeper understanding of the artist.

For the finished paintings I would like to take the point of view of Dwarf to the right. When you are on a stage the viewing dynamic from there is so different to how the audience would normally see the scene.

After Alice Liddell left

Martin W Francis

Starting as a painting called Dawn. This design has undergone a lengthy evolution process, spanning over a year. It began with the fundamental elements of a tree, the sky, and the sun. As time passed, additional elements were introduced, such as a ball, and soon-to-be-added cards from the Alice story. These elements ultimately come together to complete the overall design.

The Back Block Priest (and the war between good and evil)

This painting is painted in the style of the Post-Impressionists of 1900 Paris. It is a symbolic narrative work. The idea came from a drawing I did many years ago. He is the kind of Priest who works in the community, travelling from one outback town to another, hence his dress. In the painting, he is in Silverton, South Australia. The painting also talks of the wars waging at the moment in Europe, the priest is asking the viewer. Why?
