Nest
This is a set of 4 wee beasties, each canvas is 10×10cm – little. I painted them for a group show opening tomorrow at Brunswick Street Gallery.
A weird thing happened while I was painting this. I was looking at the blank canvases, thinking about how I was going to paint a brown wash across the bottom 3rd of them. Just then my rams’ skull randomly fell off the wall, knocked over my coffee cup which spilled a brown coffee wash over the bottom third of one of the canvases. After cleaning up the spill I picked it up and realised it was exactly what I had intended to do, but with paint!
These enlargements are bigger than life size:
One day when I’m rich I’m going to commission someone to make me a bathtub just like this.

I look forward to seeing a pic of this bath if it’s ever made (although I don’t know how cosy it’d be, LOL!)

When I remember my dreams they are WEIRD.
The skull sits right at head height on my wall where I paint. I think it’s lucky :)
Firedrake in reply to Damian’s comment, 3 months ago
I think it would have to be polished nice and smooth…so if you were sitting in the middle it would be OK. I wouldn’t lean on the edge though!

is the bottom left a spy?
Firedrake in reply to LostBoy’s comment, 2 months ago
Hmm, could be. Clearly in disguise too!
