Yes it is oils...I love the idea the flints dancing.<br />Yes it is oils, very thin, dragged over the painting.<br /><br />Here is Derek Jarman talking about his circles:<br /><br />"At first people thought I was building a garden for magical purposes - a white witch out to get the nuclear power station. It did have magic - the magic of surprise, the treasure hunt. A garden is a treasure hunt, the plants the paperchase.<br /><br />I invest my stones with the power of Avebury. I have read all the mystical books about ley-lines and circles - I built the circles with this behind my mind. The circles make the garden perfect - in winter they take over from the flowers."Anna Wilson-Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02958991976592831148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166618665810144750.post-10676074020438776182012-02-17T15:00:29.683+00:002012-02-17T15:00:29.683+00:00Lovely soft colours, it almost looks like pastels ...Lovely soft colours, it almost looks like pastels but I am assuming it's oils.Sandra Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05468151954991921758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166618665810144750.post-78080856368242470172012-02-17T13:58:09.819+00:002012-02-17T13:58:09.819+00:00They look like they're dancing some sort of ri...They look like they're dancing some sort of ritual.
