A little more portrait practice this week. Something dark and a little different from the bright colors I often enjoy. In addition eagle eyed fans will notice the master of the macabre lurking in the background! It’s a kind of fan art on several levels. I was captivated by the reference photo, the painting is done in the style of an artist I recently discovered, and the backdrop is from an author I was delighted by at an early age.
Dew kissed dirt and cans that clutter the curb. A red ripped skirt and screams that nobody heard. Trailer park games and a future already written. Rejected, enraged, for life and last night and for all that they’ve taken!
You know that feeling, when you’re tired after a long day under the sun and you’re ready to lay down, under the stars, and listen to the sounds of s- oh, oh wait…you don’t have a tent!…and suddenly you realize you will be staring at the stars…under the lighting and thunder…and rain…Nothing builds character quite like a camping trip…
