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.
