Fighting Dogs - Continued work in Progress











Fighting Dogs - Work in Progress

I had to turn the painting to start the second figure.




Once I had achieved the facial structure of the second figure I was able to turn the painting back round.

More photographs of the ongoing work in progress, expanding the painting in sections of the figures as well as the background around the figures.

I am including the photographs that reflect my work in progress.











Fighting Dogs

This is my new painting the idea came about because of comments made by the lecturers, and once again looking at situations that have happened.
When I first moved into the area I now live, fights would regulary outside my home, and these situations were loud, aggressive but also full of movement and a tangible energy, as well as power struggles, so I hope this piece is reflective of this.












I have changed how I have created the image, when considering the last painting I made, which is an interesting piece however I felt that the background compromised the figure, so I am working the background as well as the figures.
