My images of personified waves come from very deep inside and their weirdness is very pleasing. I’d like to tap into this realm more; it is easier to come by when drawing, and so I have been making more drawings lately which, I am glad to say, are providing me with indeterminable amounts of subject matter.
This was my third attempt at painting this image; the others lost a lightness of touch which, in this version, I was able to retain.
While the painting was still wet I wanted to add the tear tracks and the best way was to make the eyes cry acidic tears of solvent.
