Finished for Now: Prescribed #1

The last post showed only the beginning 3 phases of this piece.  Not sure it's finished but until I decide what's next, have a few critiques about it and generally spend more time living with it in my studio, it's finished for now.

New Studio, New Body of Work

Since the stroke in 2000 I take a lot of medications.  In my daily reality, these help me be pleasant, sane, and reasonably reasonable.  I've been gathering all things to do with these drugs for a couple of years but the initial stages of visioning this self-portrait work eluded me until this month.  Two days before I got the keys for my new studio I thought of the first piece.  From top to bottom the pictures below show the evolution of this first piece.

Layer 1: arranged prescription stickers

Layer 2: lines, shapes in ink on tracing paper to size of canvas

Layer 3: (in 3rd picture on wall behind canvas on easel) gouche on tracing paper

Layer 4: oil & oil stick on canvas

Layer 5: (not shown) more oil

I'll take a less bleary picture this weekend.  Stay tuned for the process of the next piece!!

Unfinished. Wait, What?

Total of 6 hours in front of this model.  Realism and subtlety take forever!  Oh yeah.  AND I'm a bit retarded.  No, really.  

But clearly, I learned a lot in just and 8 week period.  Well worth the money.  More classes at Gage in the future.  And definitely from Geoff Flack!

Keys!

Lease signed and notarized.  New key weight on key ring.  A very happy artist indeed.
