Tragedy

These paintings of Bluto as fallen greek gods were so hard for me to paint ( I didn't go to art school) that at one point I scapped both of them. Then, I jtold myself that that "since they are not going to work I can do anything" That freedom to fail allowed me to make some of the best paintings of the series

Obsessed

as I near the 100 mark on this Bluto series which I began only a few months ago, I have to face my obsession, I wasnt really thinking so much about why Im doing it until recently some scholars picked up on these and have been writing to me about what they see and its fascinating!
