Gay Vettriano

In 2005, before I was painting full time, I painted a take on Vettriano's "Dance Me To The End Of Love" but feauturing two male figures. Recently, the owner asked me to update it as my painting style had changed somewhat.

I was quite excited about revisiting a five year old painting but also nervous about taking away the essence of the artwork.

It really was strange painting over the canvas but it was really interesting to see the early brushwork.

You can see the original painting at joehendry.com but here's the new version, complete with frame.
