I
cannot possibly explain this painting. I have some theories,
but they are only guesses. Mostly it just makes me very happy.
Watch out, this character will grow on you. I am pretty sure
this is an eel. But my partner, Mike, thinks it is a pickle. I am hopeful this unusual, funny, emotional painting will bring smiles and a few puzzled expressions to your home or office. How The Poet was created... After the black gesso primer dried, I used palette knives to create a fun expressionist painting filled with deep purples and blues and reds. I removed paint from the areas that would become "windows". Once that nicely textured layer had dried, I used wide soft brushes to apply warmer purple and lavender washes. Then I used tiny detail brushes to create the eel king and to add the words. The Poet was painted on a professional quality gallery-wrapped canvas with deep 1.5" sides. This piece would look wonderful displayed unframed directly on the wall. Or it can be shown on a small decorative easel. Or it can be easily and affordably framed as it required no matting or glass.
