Oil on 1/8" Board. Approx 8"x8" SOLD
The challenge for this month was chosen by Diana Moses Botkin and was striped socks. Not something I would usually paint but, then again, that's why I'm in this challenge group. All I could think about were sock puppets. Then when I shot my reference, all I could think about was the amazing artist Ali Cavanaugh. And of course, her work was a strong influence for the overall look of this painting.
each and everyone unique and wonderful... this is what makes art!
ReplyDeleteI love your painting, Michael; it's so playful and imaginative. And yes, the striped socks reminded me too of Ali's work, which I admire very much.
ReplyDeleteI love the sock puppets, very creative interpretation of the challenge :)
