Samurai Revisited, 24x24, 2020 |
Over the past few years I've been taking paintings that are collecting dust in my garage and giving them new life. They add a rich layer to my new work. Instead of destroying pieces I don't like, I sand them down or use them as a base layer for a new work of art. I love knowing that there is a history or back story to each piece that only I know about. This particular painting was once a samurai. I kept the color palette and added pages from a 19th century Japanese book on Kabuki theater along with fabric and new painted elements.
