Horizontal triptych

After cutting up some older paintings I decided to start on some new work. I loved the look of the figure in "Angel of Judgement" so I want to carry that style into the figures in this painting. The 'ghost' figures have become my constant motif, so why not throw them into this work as well?

As per usual I started by laying down some newspaper on board, the ripped it off. This leaves fragments behind which create texture in the background of the canvas. Then I attacked the boards with spray paint to tie all three boards together. I sketched out the underlying structure of the painting in marker. The last thing I did today was put a wash of grey over the 'ghost' figures.
