About this painting
Painted for the Marbury exhibition, this is a surreal manipulation of the Portrait of Anna Q Nilsson. Intended to be shown side by side with the original portrait. Unusually, the picture had little planning and much of it was drawn in one quick session, making it one of my most surreal in the true sense.

The picture shows a mountainscape above a dark lake. A woman is stabbed and a droplet is shown below her. Pain is apparent, and the up turned heart has a sexual connotation. The eagle represents predatory sexuality.

Technical details
The portrait underdrawing was the starting point for the picture. The eagle was the first major object to be added. For dynamism the yellow ray was added, which required a hole. A figure speared was added, then finally the droplet. Some details were improvised during the painting stage.
