Feast

Continuing the trend of revisiting some pieces from my earlier years, I painted another version of New Year's Feast. I created the original illustration for the January cover of Black & White, a biweekly alternative newspaper in Birmingham in the 90s and early 2000s. Influenced by the celebrations popular in royal courts in the 1600s and 1700s, this painting illustrates the food, music and entertainment with the accompanying joy (some might say debauchery) of those times.
