Description
Silhouetted By The Sea by Jamie Condon - an original acrylic on board.
Inspired by Mr Tambourine Man. particularly the lyrics:
"Silhouetted by the sea
Circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate
Driven deep beneath the waves"
So i wanted sea blues and sandy yellow colours in it, also wanted to do Dylan at a piano for something a bit different as he's usually depicted with his guitar.
Jamie Condon occasionally works in oil but generally use heavy body acrylics, I like the consistency and they dry much faster; this allows me the freedom to work quite quickly and be able to layer paints using brushes and palette knives on top of each other. I nearly always paint on hardboard as I don't like the movement of stretched canvas when I’m trying to do precise work. I prefer the solid nature of the boards.
