8" X 8"oil on masonite Seriously. Sometimes some of your silliest paintings are also your most successful, and this is one of my own personal favorites. It's about a couple of different things; but mainly it's about the difference in value between wattle and feather. The difference, when setting up your palette, between being deliberate and being all willy-nilly. I prefer being deliberate to being willy-nilly for the most part with paintings, but then again, let's not forget that there is certainly a time to be willy-nilly. In fact, I'm feeling a little willy-nilly right now, to be quite honest. And maybe the trick is to be kindof majorly deliberate for the most part, but with a nice juicy splash of the willies from time to time, in painting as well as in everything.
