Artist's Comments

I made this with paint.

All of my shit is done "as life" (I put that in quotes to make it seem like a fancy art term). So, if it is a picture of a head and shoulders, it is the size of a head and shoulders. No... Not the shampoo, actual head and shoulders.

Got a clearer picture this time. You can almost see the brushwork. That's what it's all about. That is why I paint... To get that surface. That effortless surface. It's almost got a name... "Sprezzatura".

If I got anywhere close to my goal, this should look like I just tossed this out. As if I put little effort into producing it. Ya know "Just a little trifle I coughed up in an afternoon." But between you and me, it was the result of grueling labor, loss of sleep, ego-crushing self criticism, and more hours than I can remember.

Well, it's absolutely gorgeous. I wish I had half the talent you must have in your little pinkie. Simply mah-velous.

Thanks... But, my pinky is a retard. The seat of my intellect and talent rests in my "piggy that went to market".

And my other work reminds you that I am a plumber?

Yeah... very similar girls. And this sitter was also French. Ya know, with the accent and the whole deal. If this is a common French look... I live in the wrong country.

That's hot. I'm glad we can finally see some of the brushwork like you had mentioned.

Pictures just can't do your work justice. It's beautiful Doc.
