BOY - a miniature Painting

Folk songs and rhymes inspired this miniature. Magpies, crows, rooks and jays and similar birds have a certain mystery that is strange and familiar. I enjoy mixing figurative and abstract painting styles on one plane. The brown here reminds me of polished wood or conkers and it feels like a slightly masculine piece in a way, because of the rhyme. This is painted on a wooden panel, which has been primed with eight layers of traditional gesso. On top of this is an oil ground and so the surface of Boy is very delicate and should be handled carefully. I worked with a carpenter who has accommodated each painting support in different ways and has made beautiful tray frames in stained oak. They are lightweight and can be hung with specialist wall velcro, or a framing attachment can be applied. PLEASE NOTE: the actual painting size is 13 x 13cm. The listed dimensions are the frame size.
