at the beginning of the year, put a call out for a project "the unfinished painting V" - drop off an unfinished painting for someone else to work on, pick up someone else's unfinished artwork but you must leave at least 20% of the original work visible. sounded like an interesting concept and I have quite a few unfinished/repurposed artwork kicking around.
the first image shows the final completed canvas that I worked on; the 2nd image shows the painting's original state. like the Rorschach test "what do you see?" I initially thought about incorporating a Chinese lion as I was working on this close to chinese new year. ended up with my own rendition of a haetae, which is a legendary Korean creature and mythical guardian symbolizing justice, righteousness, and protection against disasters, particularly fire. sehr cool right?
"haetae + the midnight muse"
24" x 24" - mixed media
$350CND
go see it at the paint spot as it's on display among the other submissions of this project until April 23/25, though you'll have to look up, waaay up, and to the right when you enter the store
