Do not go gentle into that good night
- if the grim reaper wants you,
Then make the bugger fight.
Apologies to Dylan Thomas, there. Making the Ian Fennelly copy yesterday inspired me to get today and have another go at line and wash for myself. I mean, you'd never mistake this for the work of the great man himself, but I can at least point out a couple of things which show the influence at least. If you look at the buildings on the right, I've been playing with the geometric forms a bit, which is something I've noticed in Ian Fennelly's work. I've also been freer with the colour - and this really works on the statue, in as much as I'm actually happy with the way that I've used colour on it. Also I've accepted that I don't need to fill every inch of white space with colour - although I've still got a long way to go on this one, I think.
