From the Artist: "I did this more than a year ago, shortly after I started painting. It was an appealing image off a costmetic package and I used dozens of layers of glaze to try to achieve translucency. Blue is one of the most difficult colours for my digital camera to reproduce successfully - it frequently reproduces as a dazzling electric colour in an image using a broad palette - quite annoying. I have to use the digital camera software to tone it down, which then skews all the other colours as well."
