Icarus Fell (ii), Completed commission
Icarus Fell (ii) oil on canvas, 3 x 2 ft
beyond a very tenuous relationship with Breughel's painting,
which is one of my all time favourite works of art, I have no idea what it is.
Something about innocence.
"Se Lest" by Sigur Ros evokes the same sort of feeling in me:
you can listen to it here
.
The commission was to recreate a (cropped) image of a small, sold painting:

with some adjustments, on a larger canvas.
More images of the painting at different stages here:
