Original artwork description:
A copy of my first reprise of this painting by Vassyl Khmeluk (see other painting). This is a larger copy of a copy, and an interesting exercise. I love the mystery within this painting, a magic I still don't fully understand though it has something to do with making something solid and sculptural of a vase of flowers.
This is what I wrote at the time: "Going through a bleak featureless period after an horrendous gallery experience last summer [2014]. I was very depressed and close to giving up painting altogether but I kept returning to a tiny illustration of a work by Vassyl Khmeluk - little known Ukranian artist (1903-86) who deserves to be much better known - provided the electric charge to start again. I've done two versions and have, in so doing, come to recognise exactly what it is that can make such a little work so exquisite.
Framed by the artist.
Materials used:
Spectrum oil paint, linseed paste medium, knives
