The next of my animal paintings is from a photograph of a gorilla. It took me some time and I made a lot of changes. Towards the end, I remembered the thing about being relaxed when painting and this helped me to finish it. My first thought for a title was 'What would you like Mr Gorilla?' but I think this makes far too many assumptions and closes it down. I guess it's fun though.
It's a step in a good direction for me - along the path of learning to paint. Still a long way to go and I am really looking forward to it.
I had intended to put some life drawings in before this image but I have left them all at the studio...so that'll probably be next.
