This turned into a painting about the lost innocence of a stripper (or actor or politician) when the world seems an oyster at first, but soon turns to tempation and darkness. (think Britney, poor girl) OR it is about the cold predatory nature of the male mind as it considers the fairer sex, and the dangers that may result from it. This i a reworked painting from last yearI am glad i went back and tackled this one, because it was never really finished. I was static cold and not perfect enough, plus the hand had to be fixed. The tentacles were drawn from 3 shapes in balsa wood dragon parts sheet, you know when you can build a dino out of wood and paint it. Particularly proud of the dollars, of course they are not perfect, but they are recognizable. I originally intended to give a much vaguer impression of money than i ended up with, all the better. |
