Something I always struggle with is my tendency to use every primary colour in every picture. So here I was consciously trying to use a limited palette. It is painted with acrylic, and some of the interesting textures and distortions came from making mistakes. I think there was a second figure at some point which I painted over. And somehow, by not giving up on it, and continuing to paint over, and re-work, until I could feel settled about it, this painting acquired its own integrity.
It didn't come easily, but in the end a serene feeling prevailed.
