I forgot to say, yesterday's Red Boy is part of a series:
Toys Recreate Paintings (though it's been almost two years since I made one).
Left: Calling card of Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes in "The Red Boy".
(The painting is almost 3 ft. x 5 ft.; the card would be visible.)
Right: My card--with cat! I'm especially proud of this detail--I'd saved this old, cracking rubber cat from the thrift store.
I painted its eyes yellow to match Goya's cats.
Three cats...
Girlette Sunny Khan wants everyone to know her hair was dyed (with water-based ink).
Oooh, there are, in fact, THREE cats in Goya's painting. And one of them really wants to get that bird.
ReplyDeleteWonderful re-creation. Hair dye and all!
