The third series on the go 'Monkey Business'. A bit of an exotic subject, I normally choose subject matter that is local to the UK.
The reason I chose this theme was the human like expressions on their faces and social interactions.
Each one of the paintings will convey a message elabrated through the title.
Using Fisher 400 sanded paper, the style will be looser and more painterly to what I normally create and the source material will be supplied by photographers other than myself.
On a personal note: yes I would love to go around the world and shoot the monkeys myself but my 'tin cup' just isn't big enough.
A blog post will be added later showing this 'piece' completed throughout the four stages then added to the 'Themed Series' section of the website.
