Description
This is a work in progress which is almost completed. The work was begun in 2019 and I had just completed the figure of the model just before the first lockdown began. Suzi was a model I hadn't worked with before and gave me the opportunity to depict more dynamic poses than I had previously. When the first lockdown began I couldn't access my studio due to having to isolate so progress came to a halt for the rest of 2020. Since restrictions eased I have begun working on the painting again and am close to completing it.
The painting is like a statement of intent as I hope to make more nude studies with Suzi again when we can. The painting is as much Suzi challenging me as it is me challenging myself with the awkward pose and studio interior. Being able to work with Suzi from life enabled me to create a nude with as much depth as one of my portraits.
