When we last saw our friend the Phantom he was lookin' fine with a yellow/green background. Then I thought I could make the background a little neater and ruined it totally. He spent the next few weeks languishing in the labyrinthine waterways under my apartment, until I decided to "nuke" some candle-wax and throw it at him. I missed, but the background looks kind of alright, yeah? Anyway I promised this one to a friend in an unexpected fit of camaraderie. Will have a nice photo of it up tomorrow!
oh yea , the blood makes it ! drooling down the side of the wall adds dimension & , well, more" horror!"
ReplyDeleteit's beth here, not char - how'd her pop up ?!
Blood?! Only a bit of red candle-wax to ensure contrast, and provide some exciting color so that people of all ages can enjoy this painting! It takes a truly deviant mind to assume I would splash gore around like a crazed person. I shudder to think what subtext lurks in your own deceptively bright and reassuring watercolor marvels, viewable at
