Bit Off More I could Chew This oil painting ‘Psyche & Amor – 24-05-23’ is finished finally. Long overdue I must say. It took way more time than expected. Doesn’t it always go like that? There’s no venture you can’t handle and then you realize you bit off more than you could chew. I thought I’d quickly convert the original reference drawing into oil paint.

As far as I know this has rarely or never been done by artists. I mean, looking straight into the sun in broad daylight. You always see those painted sunsets in yellow or orange. As a disciple of the light I was duty-bound to finally make my mark. Do that bright sun for once and see if the result would look plausible
