Original artwork description:

Amanda caught while relaxing between live studio sessions.

A painting rejected by my local art society, I'm told because it featured a nude - It would seem they don't like such things, or maybe it was because she was smoking - a ferocious new taboo that has become deeply entrenched now (while drinking to excess is still a thing almost to be admired).

But what these people, who set themselves up in positions of artistic authority, continually fail to see is the actual painting. In old good hardwood frame.

Materials used:

Spectrum oil paint, knives, sticks, paste medium.
