Late Evening Dinner
Oil & Oil Pastel on Paper.
Size: 50 W x 70 H cm
I’ve just returned to this city for the new university term. I'm going round to N & M’s flat on this summer evening. There’s lots of stuff everywhere. I find their room and M's cooking. He's just come back from work, and he's asking what I would like to eat at 6 in the morning. He’s planning on staying up all night. One of his friends ends up cooking me something in the other room. A potato, a broccoli stem and a pork loin-looking thing with blood in the middle like a jam donut. It tapered off to one end where it was meat. This room was oily from 2 vats on the hob. It's dark in here. The potato was large and flat. I need to go back to my house for something. It’s beautiful out. I tell myself I should start walking the city again like I had done in the previous years.

This paper has the exact same make-up as the original is painted on - 100% α-cellulose. Acid- and lignin-free. There is a visible structure to the paper which gives a textured look and feel close to the original.
It is certified ISO 9706. Which means it conforms to museum quality for the highest age resistance.
I scan the original (not photograph) so it is as accurate as can be. Including all the oily lumps and strokes of the originals. And then If it’s needed I colour-correct on a colour-accurate studio monitor with the original in front of me.
