Laine Walker Guanaba QLD Bare Necessities acrylic on canvas This is a self portrait from a candid photograph my husband took of me while I was in my sewing workroom. I was completing a fashion and design diploma and creating a lingerie collection as part of the course. While doing some fitting and adjustments he snapped the photo without my knowledge. I liked the classical feel of the pose set in my cluttered workspace with all my creative materials and equipment. I used the photograph to paint this picture in grey/black/blue tones and in a contemporary style which links the tradition of figure painting with today’s contemporary digital culture.
