The Struggle of Changing Directions

The people who know me best know that I am a workaholic.  The anatomy of my private time is spent reading, writing, working, or practicing.  However, I find myself with the need to take a break from any one subject over which I have been obsessing.  Usually, that subject is magic.  And recently, I have been delving so deeply into a performance project that I needed a break from performing completely.  So, I turn to painting in these times of need.  Specifically large acrylic paintings. 

The Work Itself

Most of my paintings are abstract in nature, but this time around I wanted to try something different.  I wanted to pick a simple subject, and do something complex with it.  I began with an acrylic medium transfer of the image of a large skull (3’x4′). Then I began to recreate the lights and shadows with acrylic paint and pencil.  But, instead of using the standard tones that might be associated with the image of a skull on parchment, I decided to use as many colors as I could. Overall, I am pleased with the results.  The untitled work currently hangs in my living room above the television.

The Results

This is the finished work
