This my 3rd RL painting. It is a naive study of depth. The unlikely ripples, give it a surreal touch. When painting this view I never knew 19 years before hand, it was the location for the photographing of Malcolm McLarens post-post-punk band, Bow-wow-wow when they were posing for the "award winning" cover of the bands first album "Going Wild in the Country". I know this because about 2 year after painting this scene, by some ambient serendipity, I met the photographer Andy Earle and a BBC 2 film crew here. The BBC had an interest in the cover design because it was based upon the Manet painting; "Dejeneur sur l`herbe". |
