99 Paintings: DAY 35

Day: 35 "Rot Mouth Skull": 
My girl Susie is a painter too.  She's what I call a scrubber.  She uses very little paint on her brush and likes to scrub pigment into the canvas.  I was attempting to use that approach here.  First off, this is a really bad photo today - sorry about that.  But I found that a slicker gessoed board, like I like to use, is not as conducive to the scrubbing or scumbling method.  A bit more absorbant and textural surface like canvas works better.  I did get some nice results by working very thin though.  Remember to brush your teeth kiddies, or you'll end up like this poor fellow. - Tom
