This piece was built using imagery from my paintings "Flipping Eggs" which is SOLD,
The little chef dude was taken from a piece that I painted over! Every now and then I do a painting that doesn't quite thrill me. I think paintings are like children.....some are not beautiful, but they still have something redeeming about them. And like children, I often just sell it and hope to never see it again. No? Not appropriate? I think there are only a handful of these paintings. But the even rarer bird, the repainted painting. I do most of my final compositions in Photoshop, so I don't have to keep redrawing things.....so I have very few 'duds' that need repainting, but this one - was one! It was so HEINOUS that I simply cannot show it to you! You may be blind after staring into the terrible composition!As usual, I added some ink on top just to make it 'pop'. On this piece, I also added scrabble times and some metal - which I also painted, and aged. You'll notice I actually flipped the bird upside down for added effect!
Whadda 'ya think??
