The creative process

Every artwork passes through distinct phases before reaching its final form. Here are some images from the journey.

The pencil drawing on the canvas: the castle and the lady
The sunset sky and the first folds of the blue gown
Castel del Monte takes shape, dark greenery around the lady still left white
The lady's face and hair, the flower crown still to be coloured
The orange flower crown and the flowers in the foreground
Olive leaves and ears of wheat complete the foreground
The lady's hair turns dark and the sky grows deeper
The finished, signed work: the lady before Castel del Monte at sunset
Stories, processes, inspirations
