I like the composition, the capture of a relationship. I'm not quite finished with the painting. I want to do a little more work on the figures.I'm using a different method than I usually use. A lot of glazing with a few brushstrokes and lots of palette knife work. I think it gives the image a different look and feel than a straight up painting. I personally like a painterly picture where the paint is as much the subject as the subject..
I also use a bare bones palette of 3 acrylic colors - burnt sienna for red, yellow ochre for yellow, and ultramarine blue for the blue. Plus titanium white. Some gel medium to make it nicely spreadable and a secret experimental technique that is a secret.
Why am I gibbering on? Why does the hound dog howl at the moon? It's his nature. Additionally I'm being pretentious, a poseur. I talk about my "palette" like I was a grand master and my fans want to know all the details.Like a vanity photo shoot its one of giddyup kicks of bloggin - . Speaking of vanity photo shoots, look here this is what I could look like if I wasn't me. And plastic surgery to do your nose or whatever. I marry a girl with a petite nose and distinctive chin - we have kids and they look like rodents! You tricked me. Off button Mikey. Click.
PS. A swell prize to the first person that correctly diagnoses my mental disorder. Heck a swell prize to anyone who gives me a cool diagnosis, even if its wrong.
