THAnks Lon. I wonder why I thought oil painting would be more simple than acrylic.

A striking image. Very good. I take it the impasto will be on a new painting as this one is finished.

Thanks Harry. Nah I’m going with some impasto for this painting. I’m about to fix a few things and then try to decide how I can make this bird set better in it environment/space, as in how to make the thing seem part of the scene it is in. I see paintings by professionals and they seem to be able to have a consistent style throughout the picture that really unifies the whole image and sets all the objects in the picture plane in the same “place” and make it seem like they exist together with the background or whatever. They exist all together in the same atmosphere is what I’m trying to say. I want that with this plus make almost everything seem deceptive to the viewer/victim and at the same time make what you the viewer extremely visceral.
If you read this far I owe you a beer. Pretentious word salad is why I plan to never go to hip art shows at galleries because I couldn’t last a second with someone talking like I just wrote. Anyway, thanks for the comment. I know this image is kinda dark, but it’s kinda the point of the whole thing:( Fortunately ive never had an experience like some tell about but I had the idea for the painting and ran with it. Wish me luck:)
