Misty II
Thursday, May 4th, 2006
Yesterday we sold “Misty II”.
I feel a mixture of joy and sadness, because I am very fond of that watercolour. It was done in the wet-in-wet technique and A3 in size, the largest I had painted at the moment.

An almost monochromatic painting, as I used only Winsor & Newton’s Payne’s Grey with just a tiny little bit of Prussian Blue and Burnt Umber for the eyes. The blurred background contrasts with the strong oblique lines of the neck and face pushing the horse towards the viewer, as if it was emerging, galloping at full speed, from a fantasy mist.
I really hope the new owners enjoy this painting.
