More blocking in, this time on the clothes of the figures. There is some satisfaction in seeing the block-in shapes, but they will appear more dimensional with the addition of subtle colour changes according to the light source. This painting contrasts with my previous oil work which had a great vibrance of colour. The tones in this work are much more subtle and 'Earthy'. The subject, whilst fortuitously inspired when in New York in 2013, reflects the apparent popularity with cooking and cooking TV shows over the world.
