What began over two months ago has less than 3 days of daylight remaining - my adventure to win the Archibald Prize!
Here are 3 snippets of my gigantic 3.3 metre by 1.4 metre paper artwork.
Will it stand out? Probably. Paper as a material has not won before so I'm against (or making) history.
What's been the most rugged challenge? (Thanks for asking by the way!)
Working with a giant piece of paper that dwarfs my giant oak table has been difficult. Likewise sketching and painting large feels like an ant carrying a biscuit (a little awkward).
It's also a battle of self-doubt perhaps like any unknown considering my approach has been rebellious (Google 'Archibald painting' and you'll see oceans of sumptuously painted oils bursting with colour). When you see my subject in a few days it might surprise and baffle but it will be different. And being noticed is the first step to being considered by the judges.
Thanks for your support, and as always if you'd like to write I'd love to hear from you.
P.S - If you'd like an original print of my Archibald journey for just $20 just go here!
