Picture title: Sunrise over Ischia,
sun on the right. 1979.
Oil on canvas. Size: 23-5/8" x 31-1/2" (60cm x 80cm).
Sold
Note: In the frenetic process of photographing the
above painting before
it was sold I was completely
oblivious of shadows cast on the canvas by branches of a tree behind me.
Also, the photograph
has lost much of the fine
detail and colour subtlety of the painting. The colour film
was processed by the only film processing laboratory on Ischia, the
diabolical results of which
were my films, with what seemed to have been chemicals from the nineteenth
century; the proprietor tried to extract every morsel of developing potential from them. Perhaps
he was reptilian!
