I've been thinking about this painting for a while and finally had time to work on it. I tend to question everything. I have a tattoo that says "Cynic" in an Old English typeface on my left buttock. There is a lot of symbolism in this image. I'm not going to explain it all. I want the viewer to read into this in their own way. Acrylic on wood panel 44 inches x 18.5 inches
Here is a series of personal paintings I did last week. I painted them on old encyclopedias that I found. I sealed the books and painted over them. I thought the hat theme tied in with the books. The idea of covering something up remains with the paintings. I really wanted the faces to push back and allow the hats to tell the story.
This is a remake of a previous painting I did a while back with the same theme. A personal friend commissioned me to recreate this image due to the fact that I already sold the original Cotton Candy Octopus Water. I think it is a vast improvement based on the size. This version is much larger and I think it's a bit more rendered than the original.
