When Painting Ideas Go Astray!
I was mocking up a few photo composites as reference for some new oil paintings I was planning, using old family photos. Having learned the hard way that some people are sensitive about memories associated with certain images, I thought to ask permission. Permission was denied! One alternative suggested, by my entomology specialized sister, was to replace human heads with insect heads, as I had been doing with bird heads. I tried a few versions, but they all looked quite unattractive. The best was this photo composite with a few pen & ink insects drawings covering the faces. I kind of like it for what it is, but it will not be the basis for any future oil paintings.
