the columns


I've been painting away on the piece from the Columns Hotel in New Orleans, adding a density of paint, some figures, I'm really pleased how it's come out! It's a very low-key painting, I've never used so much burnt umber and burnt sienna before but it's in a rembrandt-y key so it works. It makes it a bit tough to photograph but it the color comes across ok... I like the warm, quiet mood. oil on canvas, 24 by 20
