The Layered One

Once I started on The First One, I realized that part of painting in oil is literally watching (waiting for) paint dry... which is brutal when painting is the pacifier. So. I devised an elaborate drying system made of pizza boxes so that I could work on at least 6 at a time with the least amount of space necessary. This system was essential for this One in particular as I used a classic technique of painting in thin, transparent layers that took a million years to dry and a million layers to develop the rich and dynamic colors- without that pizza scheme.... I don't wanna think about it
