Driving Home for Christmas

The final week before  going home for a week or so. Involving tutorials, essay writing, and finishing paintings. I am definitely in need of some kind of break, even if i am going to be working a lot over Christmas. It will be nice to let my mind not think about uni work for a small while.  

Wednesday: A small A4 Study i decided to paint on a pink ground. Really enjoying the night time light at the moment, as well as street studies. I think its because of the challenge of drawing the perspective,  and also it has given me a way to break away from traditional compositions.  I am quite pleased with the end result of this semi abstract painting, perhaps it could be a route i continue to push. The space where abstraction and realism meet has always intrigued me, and at the moment my abstract and realistic paintings are still very separate. I hope that some point in the near future they meet.
