Day: 18 "HellHog Demon":
I have this frame that I made out of bones that I absolutely love. It needs a cool painting. I sketched this guy out on a red panel real quick with magic marker (the opposite of my usual tight pencil drawing on paper mounted down to board) about 2 years ago and never painted it. Since I'm on a jag with my 99 Paintings, I thought I'd paint it now - and I had a blast! All the skull painting I've been doing helped me get a more natural feel to the bones and the red ground is powerful and rich. I let a lot of the red show through the paint in the shadow areas as reflected light and painted the light side of the skull more opaquely. Prints available at my site.
