“SLEEPING IN” NEW PAINTING !

I HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR WEEKS AND WEEKS ON MY LATEST PAINTING.

A FRIEND OF MINE POSTED THE ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH ON FACEBOOK AND I ASKED HIM IF HE WOULD MIND IF I TRIED TO PAINT IT. I AM SO EXCITED TO SHARE MY FINISHED WORK WITH TODD. HE CALLS HIS BOY “TEEN SLOTH” BUT I DIDN’T HAVE THE HEART TO USE THAT FOR THE NAME OF THE PAINTING ..HA HA.

I HAD SO MUCH FUN TRYING TO GET THE SKIN TONE CORRECTLY AS WELL AS THE MANY FOLDS AND TEXTURES IN THE CLOTH OF THE BLANKETS, PILLOWS AND SHEETS.  I LOVE THE COLOURS THAT WERE IN HIS ROOM TOO AND THE TYPICAL THINGS YOU MIGHT SEE IN THE TEEN OF TODAY’S BEDROOM …LIKE A CHARGING CELL PHONE ON THE BED AND HIS JEAN JACKET AND SOCKS ON THE FLOOR.

I PAINTED OVER AN OLDER PAINTING OF TERRY’S SO I HAD THE BLESSING OF THE PIECE ALREADY FRAMED WHEN I FINISHED THE WORK.

IT WAS ONE OF THE LARGER PAINTINGS I HAVE ATTEMPTED AT 30 X 40 (ACRYLIC ON CANVAS) AND I HAD TO TAKE MANY BREAKS BECAUSE I WAS SO SORE FROM REACHING OR BENDING OR STANDING FOR TOO LONG.  I’M REALLY HAPPY WITH THE FINAL RESULT. 

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
