Something a little different "Hairless Ape, Shitting in The Wilderness"

"Hairless Ape, Shitting in The Wilderness"
20 inches x 16 inches
Oil on Stretched Canvas
Prepped With P.V.A Size and Thin Lead Ground
2010

This happened completely extemporaneously, i.e. I had no idea where it was going until it was done. I had meant to finish it on Mon., in a single sitting, etc. This is what has evolved over the past few days, I'm now calling it done!

  3. @Denise: Muito obrigado! Thanks for following my blog, looking at my paintings, and taking the time to comment. Very kind of you, indeed. It's a pleasure to meet you! :)

    @Remittance Girl: I see what you mean. That said, a classical realist would definitely see many many flaws in my approach, but I feel that my work carefully straddles that balance between classic technique and free-verse poetry. Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Mz. Remittance! Your words are always welcome and encouraged. :)
