Reclaim the Frame

Going through some closets and cabinets in my parents home that have not been opened in a long time, I found 4 frames that had images of fruit in the middle.  The frames have a nice vertical stretch orientation and satisfy my desire to illustrate some thoughts.  After taking a Dremel like tool and sandpaper then paint, I've put some images down and proceeded to take some quick digital shots on my rather anti-professional t-shirt backdrop.  The images are blurry and the colors are off, but like everything I post, some day when they are done, I will take proper photos and then post.

New-ish wall piece and painting...

I've been experimenting with different skin tones color blends trying to find what I want for the longest time, and sorta stumbled across one that is quite close to what I envision.  The little guy is a wall piece and is supposed to be in forced 3Dimensional perspective to simulate illusionary depth though it exists in real space.  This is an idea I need to explore more, but its a neat little start.  He is about 5x12 inches and is titled:  I can't fall fast enough.  The skin tone and top coat looks pretty good in person, but as great in a quick digital still for this blog...

I also decided to make a newer painting that basically steals from my postcards.  Its 10x12 inches and is in version 3.5 of probably 5 before I'll consider it complete.  It reads and is titled, heartachers have been lurking in the shadows of ghosts.  I think it's rather dirty/messy still and needs cleaned up, and the two hands need depth and softened but whatevs.
