Lockdown Journal: COVID-19.49 (Howard Eaglestone)
howardeaglestone 'Et in Arcadia Ego' oil over acrylic on canvas. 38 x 31.5 inches. The source material, a photo of a wrapped garden ornamental pedestal, was sent to me by my American pal and painter Peter Waite. It's great to receive information which responds and contributes to a set of work. The other day, as the painting was coming to a conclusion, Peter sent a clip from Dr Strangelove! Meanwhile more toxic drivel from 'super duper missile man'.
