I forgot to mention yesterday, that the Yupo I was using was part of a gift pack from Sandy Sandy. Her work on Yupo is amazing. I am sure you have seen it, she is participating in Leslie’s challenge.

Thank you Sandy!

Today’s piece is on more of that Yupo. Again I started with paint and Saran wrap. At first, I did not see anything, and I thought I would have to trash it. I used acrylics that were left over. I tried scratching off some of the acrylic, and it’s on there baby!

I set the painting aside, when I came back to it, I saw the shape of the head, beard, and shirt. I left the face color untouched. I did add white to the eyes, but the shapes were there. The wrinkles, mouth and nose. I completed this in about 30 minutes.

Maybe he is just thoughtful, contemplative. At first I thought I saw his arms in front, as if he was resting his chin on his hands. Not quite sure now, if a little color would bring them out, or look like a mistake.

While I worked, I thought of this song…

 

 

For some reason, Mr. Lonely reminded me of Joe Cocker, so I will leave you with this. A little more upbeat, or hopeful at least.

Have a great Wednesday, take a look at all the great art created today!
