Hard to Be Soft

Went to watch a friend in a band play on a Saturday at a biker bar. This vet biker kept his best friend close by. Turns out to be a great chick magnet, too.

A few more hours into this painting, and the first wash is complete...

 

Next pass will address the fine lettering of the patches — a task for sure, that will challenge old sign painting skills. Oh, did I not mention that part of my work history? After the lettering, my final pass will comb the canvas from various perspectives for any visual snags. Not long now! Ah, but summer is getting in the way! Must. Enjoy.

Spring's sprung. That means summertime in Florida. Working with a completely different mindset for the time being; feeling a little more contemporary and masculine for some reason, and it shows through in the artwork.

Have just a few hours sunk into each of these so far.
