This painting shows a bit of insight into how I painted one of my earlier successful paintings from 2012. The first Hershey miniature piece won two awards and helped me get representation through McCormick Gallery in Chicago... so I decided to revisit the subject. The post-it note repeats the words that constantly run through my mind as I'm painting - Sharper, Straighter, Cleaner. It also has a hidden signature, see if you can find it.
My latest completion is titled "Sharper Straighter Cleaner". The height dimension varies from 12" to 9.5" and the width is 7.5". Oil on panel as usual. The piece is meant to show a different perspective of the painting, sort of a glimpse of the process. The subject matter is painted as though you are looking at it from an angle and the panel shape replicates the perspective. I constructed the frame to appear as though it is being viewed from an angle as well. This painting shows a bit of insight into how I painted one of my earlier successful paintings from 2012.
