study buddy acrylic on wood 6.25x7.5
This is a little dude I've been slowly working on for a while. Just a little study, buddy. At first I was thinking about a Lucien Freud painting that foregrounds a large nude dude, a foot stool , and a red shag carpet. That carpet has always stuck with me for some reason. Such a committed amount of detail went into every fiber. So I used the idea of a red carpet as a jumping off point. After that, things got wacky. An old friend I showed it to recently said it made her think of Pee-wee's Playhouse. I can work with that.
