A break from my usual painting... varnishing a couple of apsara paintings...

Since my return from my three-week trip in Vietnam and Cambodia, I've spent of few weeks focusing on apsara dancers from Angkor Wat...makes me think of Rodin who had been mesmerized by Kmer dancers when they showed up in France circa1906 in the context of colonial exhibitions. I varnished a few works as an experiment...

I feel the need to do more traditional stuff from time to time, but part of me wants to go back to more visceral stuff...
