This is a “palette mud” painting. The dirty oil colours left on my palette are scooped into distinct piles and saved in the freezer. Once I have enough, I can use them generously in my paintings knowing that they are “free”. The challenge of this piece was to make the colours sing without using colours fresh from the tube.

Delacroix said “I can paint you the skin of Venus with mud, provided you let me surround it as I will”.
