Beckmann has long been a favourite of mine for his bold graphic use of black line, as well as his dark and dramatic imagery. I can detect a certain Beckmann like strength in the lower left area of the painting I have been working on for the last 2 sessions. I really like the bold definition in this area, the colour and the energy. I think this exists in the rest of the painting as well. Will this be best in show or a turnip?, by leaving the giant red cabbage in the centre of the painting I am hedging my bets. Just need to frame it now.
