'The Retreat' by F. E. Clark, 2016.
The Retreat is my latest painting, in my One Foot at a Time series - where I set myself to paint a painting every week, the size of an LP or larger. Despite some utter disasters - varnish failure, bad painting, having the lurgy - this is the 8th in the series, which I began in February this year.
The Retreat - I imagine is a place with no internet, telly or phones, a place where nobody quite knows where one is. Fully stocked with painting materials, books, music, food and a lovely bottle of single malt. Where one can hear the world sigh at night and breathe fresh clean air.
Here are the other 7 paintings from this series so far,:
