England October, 2015 fig 32, Appearance: Whilst visiting my Mother in England during October this year—celebrating her 90t birthday—I revisited images shot in the New York Museum and used this wonderful image from a South American pottery figurine as the centre piece. In addition, utilizing a shot of grass taken in North Vancouver during autumn, along with many layers of paint, the image emerged. fig 33, Orchid: Scanning an acrylic sketch for the background, I incorporated a photo of an orchid given to my wife as a centre piece for this work. Highly manipulated, using layers in Procreate I shifted the tonal values, colour correction and opacity, then painted multiple layers in creating this work.
