I give you a few progress shots of my toothy Cephalotus, being brought into existence for Conjoined – Chet Zar’s group exhibit at Copro Nason on January 21.
This is maybe five sessions of varying lengths since the first layer post a few weeks back, as well as one unfortunate 5-hour stretch that ended in me erasing half the piece. The painting was on pause for a few weeks while I was plagued by a nasty case of strep throat, but now it’s steadily nearing completion.
Before you scroll, I warn you: this beast is highly NSFW!
Gorgeous work!
This is so silky and lovely! I can’t handle it! Great work!
Haha that is awesome, have you ever thought of setting up a camera to document the different stages? I love watching progress videos of paintings.. especially when the artist changes direction.
Oh, lady Zoetica, this is amazing! I love the colors so much!
Makes me remember a conversation with a friend of mine, when we were wondering if it was okay to see erotic undertones when looking at some plants. As result, we concluded that if that wasn’t okay, at least there were two of us))
Thank you, everyone! It feels so good to be painting again.
Mikhala, I’ve done something like that only once, for G4 TV – you can see a drawing progress here:
I’d love to try it again with a painting.
Colorful Amoeba – of course it’s perfectly fine. Flowers are, after all, the exposed reproductive organs of plants.
I love the details and smoothness so far on it! I definitely can’t wait to see it finished. Ohhh you’re making me itch to start painting something again. I have inks that are being neglected.
