That's great to paint the same thing repeatedly without showing signs of "wear" with each passing piece. It would seem that "The Law of Diminishing Returns" would begin to take effect somewhat after the first or second one! Man I painted Mr. Bali Hai more than anything, more than four times! What's funny is yesterday when I finished the painting I said the same thing to myself. Then I checked my email and had a commision for another Bali Hai burlap for Monkeyman. I must admit that I hate painting stuff more than once but since the Mr Bali Hai image and mug has always been a favorite of mine it doesn't bother me. It was interesting painting it that big, it completely changed the way I approached it. I haven't painted that big in a while. Also I didn't want to quit working on it but ran out of time. I'm probably going to be doing another big painting for his bar in Colorado which is cool because I want to paint big somemore.
