The Tattoo
Oil on a very large canvas. I forget the size, now. I did a series of minimalist oils on canvas, with lots of negative space, with my brush strokes mimicking a quick graphite sketch.
I needed a break from monotony of filling a canvas, I just wanted to create, and create quickly.
There is just something about getting a tattoo. Crazy Jake Groen, RIP, is adding to my arm in this painting.
The thing with tattoos is you cannot get just one. They are addicting, sort of like sex. I think I need to add to my sleeve before the year is over.
