Fall 4

Another Fall painting, but this time Digital.  I’ve revisited this image a total of 4 times now, in oil, acrylic and pencil on toned paper.  It’s somewhat of a compulsion and I just can’t see myself stopping any time soon. It’s the first time a crow has appeared in one of these images and it’s just occurred to me that the crow might represent death. Or perhaps these paintings are merely about obsolescence?

A Quick(ish) Digital Painting.  I actually started this a year ago, laid it away, rediscovered it and yesterday decided to finish it.  It went through several iterations, but some of it felt self conscious and calculated, so I deleted a lot of it and went with pure compulsion instead.  I’ve been drawing a lot of octopuses lately.  And cyclops.  And those specific pointy shapes which form the knife, the tentacles, the eyepatch and the roots of the teeth.
