"My work explores the connection between the artist and the model, the energy exchanged between the two. It's about emotional response, tactile, visceral, abstract, created with a limited color palette, leaving the brush strokes and drips raw and unrefined. It's as much a conversation as a picture, a snapshot of emotion, a thread running between the observer and the observed. Connective Tissue."
A painting from the Wednesday Drop in session at Hipbone Studio. I’m very found of the the model created by Jeff Burke, it’s consistent and I know what to expect, time wise which allows me to plan with my materials. This is a small oil, 6″ x 6″ from on of the 15 or 30 minute poses.
