Enough bright colours - the darkness calls

Painting a bright and cheerful Blackpool scene seems to have exhausted me. I now i feel i must paint something dark and gloomy to redress the balance. Not only that but i'm going to paint something dark and gloomy on a really big canvas. That will show them. It's going to be a little like the narcissism  picture only more so. As a teenager i was fascinated by Gustav Dore's tortured and twisted figures in Dante's inferno. Yes, i was a lot of fun as a teenager. I'm going to combine a twisted Dore figure with my steampunk consciousness metaphor to say something or other. Let's hear it for the 50 year old goth.
