Quiet Days in Clichy 7 Print

Acrylic on linen Signed on the front. Acrylic paint on loose linen. Canvas size is 104 x 68cm with about 50mm of unpainted border. Actual image dimensions are 91 x 56 cm. Based on sketches and compositional watercolour studies exploring the beauty and imperfection of human body. This painting has been directly influenced by Henry Miller's novel and during the painting process, by music of Carla Bley. It was finished in few intensive painting days, with little overpainting and few corrections. Painted mostly in 'alla prima' impressionistic style. It can be displayed very simply, pinned on wall, or hanging off rails. If framing is preferred option, float framing would be a good choice. It can be, but not necessarily, framed under glass or it can be stretched on a wooden stretcher frame. Painting will be rolled posted in a large diameter cardboard tube. Artist's inspiration and title came from Henry Miller's novel with the same name, set in 1930s Paris, when he was an obscure, penniless writer.
