This painting has been many paintings but none of them have stuck so it continues to evolve and transform. Its getting heavy and developing a rich surface texture, which of course only makes it better. It started out as an underpainting
for this image. Then last week I painted this odd Temptation of St. Anthony as a monkey over it while doing
the Alex Schaefer Hour on
coagula.com.
Then today I decided to revisit
this previous study and blocked in a new "chase bank: cabernet beer bongs" faux advertisement over the whole thing. Geez I'm getting to the point where I'm simply taking pleasure in the redirection of a previous picture! Its the sexiest part of painting to me, the total overwhelming of one painting with another!
