Age Old SongAnother red rosin painting this weekend. The face taken from Caravaggio's The Lute Player. Portfolio water soluble oil pastels on Xerox copies in several sizes on a piece of red rosin paper, gessoed, with cheesecloth , and then painted, dripped, splattered, collaged with the faces and stamped with an Anne Bagby stamp and black StazOn Ink.
I chose a rich palette to recall the majesty of the Renaissance, but also used lighter, less brilliant colours in other areas for an aged feel.
I'm pleased with the way the stamp faded in and out, giving a worn look,
