This painting changes with the light. Even though the studio lights were off and it’s been dull today but as I left I looked again and it was glowing! I think all this experimenting with the gold leaf is paying off. I’m still not sure where this one is going but that’s what excites me and is crucial to the evolution as an artist, I’m still learning new things. This is how I see Manchester from where I live, glowing and growing every day. I’ve resisted the urge to paint the obvious scenes in Manchester that are popular with galleries because I think being authentic is more important.
