Psycho Too
A continuation of my Psycho meets Disney theme (the illusion of the American Dream) sees a more painterly base layer image of Marion Crane (as opposed to the screen print-style of Psychobabble) as its starting point. A lot of work to get her up to speed before I manipulate, add to the surface and continue building the layers. Who know where it goes, but in my mind that’s always a good thing.
A slightly more traditional portrait of my sister’s erstwhile dog, Angus. A beautiful, muckle beast, Again, work to do but I want to keep the mark-making broad and retain some of the base layer.
Just starting to conduct a little visual research on the anatomy of a horse. It’s important I understand fully the musculoskeletal system before I embark on a very large piece (2.5m +) in the Spring and Summer. I’m hoping to get to the local Kempton Park to photograph racehorses in the next couple of months. I’m excited by the thought of crafting the beauty and strength of the animal along with my mark-making approach.
