At the closing of this summer's juried show at Art•Venture Flemington, I was excited to find that "Bicycle Crime Scene," my trompe l'oeil oil painting of a crumpled/torn Mickey Mantle baseball card, was bought! While I am obviously very psyched to have my artwork connect with a buyer, I will surely miss seeing Mickey in the studio. I learned a lot from that painting and it was definitely a conversation piece when it was on display. I won't paint Mickey again, but I do love painting things taped to walls, so what's next? Accepting any and all suggestions...
In the meantime, I thought I'd share some process photos of the creation of "Bicycle Crime Scene." Enjoy...
