The process of preparing the paper enabled me to enjoy the vibrancy of the oils.  What I love about this paint is that the colour once applied stays exactly the same, in comparison to watercolours, which fade as they dry, something I love in a way but with oils its powerful.  Whilst you won't see it on the images, the paper has rough edges, which when shadow floated is lovely as you see those edges inside a beautiful frame.  The painting is also varnished so you get that glossy sheen that makes the colours even richer.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis painting is already framed and ready to ship or be viewed.  It's another that came from imagination, so I hope you see whatever you want in here.  To me it feels like a very happy painting.  Like all the work in the 'this is the day' series there are elements of night and day combined. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matt James Brown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56718196801922,"sku":null,"price":850.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0416\/6326\/6970\/files\/IMG_6462.png?v=1781877017","url":"https:\/\/mattjamesbrown.com\/products\/this-is-the-day-no-3-original-oil-painting-copy","provider":"Matt James Brown","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
