I was going through my old pieces and came upon this painting I had given to my sister as a birthday/Christmas present
(I can’t remember which) back in 05. So I thought what the heck I’ll play around with it.
(If you’re curious the original was based off of a similar image I liked though for the life of me and I can’t remember what lol)
So here is the original:
I wasn’t planning on posting anything this evening but, I started working on this piece after work and finished it in a few hours.
I figured I may as well share it since it’s finished.
I’ve titled it “Pierced”.
I could try to give you this long and no doubt disjointed explanation on the symbolism etcetera, but I’ve never been the best with words.
Instead, I’ll just let the piece speak for itself and leave it at that.
I decided I’d keep working on my friend portraits and Mr. Perry is the latest addition to my “friend collection.”
I thought I’d go with a simple 2 tone effect for this piece.
I think he turned out quite nicely 😛 (let’s hope he thinks so too)
