After I painted Isabella's growth chart last year (in December) I took a break from painting on canvases and concentrated more on digital painting and praying for animation work. In early June I decided to get back to the analog painting by slowing in with some smaller canvases. I did a few of these smaller 'sketch' paintings where I took a doodle and transcribed it onto a small art board canvas. These canvases are 8"x 10" and are quite easy to paint in layers and short sprints.
This particular image was not inspired by anything specific, just a fun little image of a monkey (with headphones?) rummaging around in some dude's head. These days I seem to have a bit of a love affair with green monkeys (www.4thmm.com) so there may have been some osmosis happening from my right brain to my left as I painted this, if so it was unintentional.
I was hoping this small piece would inspire me to produce more paintings and I did a few small ones in a row after this... but then I stopped again. I have a 5' X 3' canvas in the works, and hope that I can take a chunk out of it over Christmas.

You ever think of selling any of these? I'd buy one.
ReplyDeleteGREATNESS!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys!
ReplyDeleteCornflake, I only imagine selling them for millions of dollars to some olive skinned Mediterranean Princess who recognizes my brilliance and wants to add me to her harem. In other words only in the realm of fantasy. I actually find it very difficult to part with them, and would prefer to give them away... but find it very hard to do that too. Maybe someday.
