Media: pastel
Size: 32x32 in
I recently discovered that this, one of my favorite paintings, that has
made the circuit of galleries and shows over the years and has yet to
find the right buyer, has never been blogged or Facebooked by me! I
don't know how that happened. Possibly because I painted it in 2009, two
years before my sudden increase in social media marketing.
Secretly, I'm pleased this one has never sold, because if ever there was a work that deserves to be in a retrospective exhibit of my work twenty years from now, this one is it! Aside from being the first daringly different composition in my then fledgling cow series, it's also the first painting that I used various colors of pastel primers to create somewhat of an 'underpainting' for the pastel -- something I do now with all of my work as a much more developed technique, and it all began with this one. Read more about this (with progress shots) on my blog!
