Coming home

Oil, 61 x 51 cm, Summer 2004

This was my first attempt at realism and I copied the work of the English master John Constable ( 1776 - 1837 ) titled The Haywain. It was a struggle for me to switch from less distinct Impressionist to the clarity of Realism but it was necessary for my training, so said my teacher. This painting marked my coming to terms with the person I am and the talent I have. I hence titlted it Coming Home.
