I started this painting with a blue underpainting, to be honest, I thought it was enough. But after a few days of looking at the blue version, I decided to use more warm skin tones. And so this version comes to life.

I've never painted a bat, but aren't they cute animals? For years, we've had one, or maybe two, in our garden, and we feel so lucky to admire their gorgeous hunting rounds around our garden lamp.

Do you know John Singer Sargent RA’s oil painting “Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose”, 1885 - 1886. Surely you do, it’s one of this Royal Academician’s most famous works. And this will be my version of it. I love the motive and learned a lot while working on it.
