This has been finished for about two weeks, but between the new computer and not having a scanner, it took a little while to figure out how to get a good resolution picture of it onto my computer.
Silly concept, I hadn't been able to paint for a while so I wanted to start with something relatively small and fun to warm up. Original concept was some sort of alien that looked a bit like a bird when resting, but actually has a completely different anatomy that's visible when it opens it's mouth or walks around. They ended up looking so much like peeps I couldn't resist painting them yellow.
5" x 7", about 8 hours, watercolor, micron, white ink and gel pen.

Haha! Ooh, this is brutal.
Whenever I think of painting in extreme conditions, it heartens me to know that people still draw and paint in even worse conditions. Ronald Searle, hiding his drawings in bamboo and burying them so as not to be killed; those guys who painted abstract art in the soviet union; the unknown artists who made sketches of Concentration Camps; Emil Nolde painting his "unpainted" works, forbidden from buying paint or painting or talking to anyone still in the art world, painting over the same paper five times, hiding paintings in the linen closet, he took up watercolors, he says, because the smell of oil paint would have alerted the gestapo...
