Sleeping Beauty is an original oil painting which was a natural progression from other paintings created in 2011 featuring facial features and also with a certain geometry working in the background or the construction of the composition of the painting.
The Sleeping Beauty title is not really a reference to the childrens’ fairytale but rather an emotional response to how we feel about people in our lives and how they appear to us in different states of consciousness.
The initial drawing of this painting was graphite on board and this was followed with some acrylic base-work. The oil painting came much later and as is a feature in much of my more recent original oil paintings, Sleeping Beauty features textured elements in addition to decorative or patterened areas.
I like the idea of applying the techniques employed for painting landscape artwork to figurative or portrait paintings and whilst this may be quite experimental in some ways, it has tended to really work for me and also has been a great teacher on so many levels.
