Ok, ok, it's NOT primitive. I used the term incorrectly. I have long lamented that I CAN'T make a real primitive painting because my brain is already too trained. But in this painting, I did it in a very short time, two sessions of about 40 minutes each, and I didn't worry about stuff, just worked fast and put the paint on thick and sort of mushed it around where I needed it to be. I'm looking for a different way to work, to put the paint on the surface and I don't know what that way is. I think I did this guy so often my head already knew where things went and I could concentrate on other stuff. All in all, the process of this one was the most satisfying.
Well you got the edge and the attitude in this one!Pumped up the chroma too.Good job at getting the brain to quiet down and let instinctual painting happen.He and you, bad ass!
