This is another work on paper. A small, colourful original painting. Its starting point was Pegasus (the mythical winged-horse) from an orange and black Greek vase. I over-painted with a very chilled-out lady. I’d been on holiday and sketching people lounging and chatting around a pool. I feel like this lady is also lounging but she’s waiting for something to happen. The under-layer of horse and wings, where left to read through or over-painted but still visible as texture, give a sense of movement. The lady is relaxed but alert and ready to fly off on an adventure.
