Been spending alot of time looking at canvas and not as much time painting, just...thinking.
I'm pretty happy because I was finally able to weild acrylics with some success in this painting. I did one of my skulls in all acrylic and for some reason it "took" this time. Yippee!
I didn't do the dramatic lighting/paint in the dark with side-light thing this time, just used multiple indoor light sources (normal lights) and painted the skull with the diffused-non-contrasty light available. I dunno about my attempts to paint stars by splattering paint... was fun tho!
4' by 3' stretched canvas with acrylics. Easter Island birdman theme.
Please give me your thoughts, criticisms and acrylic know how suggestions.
Thanks for looking!

The "V" shaped bone is the bird's lower jaw bone.

Closeup... weird angle

Closeup, the bird man white is "stamped" on in gesso.

There are several small collaged elements glued on this painting, cut outs of my paintings and these 3-D resin bird claws.
