Painting painting

Painting painting. 2010, Oil on wood 50 cm x 61 cm

This project was based on the idea of creating a painting within a painting similar to the famous Las Meninas by Velazquez's. At the time I felt the project was too simple so I took it upon myself to complicate it. Big mistake on my part. It quickly turned into one of my more frustrating paintings. In the end I resolved to pour my frustration into it. I decided to make a mock still lift of the unfinished work in the corner of the room. I'm just glad my studio has such an interesting floor.
