Lesser Apotheoun
I made a smaller version of Apotheoun, with the intent of creating a painting demonstration from start to finish. I am still incomplete on the demonstration images, but am unveiling the finish of this small painting anyway. I called it Lesser Apotheoun for lack of imagination on my part, but it does describe it for what it is.
This is oil on poplar, cradled on the back. It measures 14.5 by 14 inches and is scaled the same as Apotheoun, which is virtually life-size. It has a different feel in its execution, since it is on a smooth panel surface, rather than linen. The poplar panel was sized with Gamblin PVA Size, and then I painted upon it. I should add, it is unframed, so this is the entire image.
Currently is is in an exhibition at the Woodmere Art Museum in Philadelphia, running from January 29 through March 5, 2006; and has received a nice prize dividend as well, I had not expected.
As always, your thoughts and ideas are appreciated.
