I finished!
Thanks to an encouraging soundtrack of Etran Finatawa, Hot Snakes, and Dennis Brown, I was able to complete two paintings in time for the 'Lovelorn' group show in Tacoma. Props to Liquitex Heavy Bodied Cadmium Red acrylic and Kousmichoff Russian tea as well..
It's about long-distance-love. That gap in communication that exists even though you're both trying to say the same thing. It's also about two birds that have some crazy antenna transmitters attached to their heads. And it's always about color.. pthalo turquoise, organic vermillion, and the aforementioned and most coveted: cadmium red.
Off to the post office!
