As I’ve said before, I never know where things are going when I start to do a piece of art. The only idea I had for this was “guitar”. At the end I could see a vague sort of Picasso influence. I don’t study other artists, but I know what I like, and Picasso strikes a chord for me. lol This is also influenced by the artists I’ve been curating on my StumbleUpon blog, as well as “Val’s Art Diary” on YouTube.
Digitally painted in Photoshop as a larger image originally, then cropped and altered with the “posterize” filter.

really quite lovely; it is the deep shading that makes this piece pop.
Thanks for the kind words you left on my blog. I miss the pointillism work and detailed work of the perspective renderings; sometimes feel so torn between directions to go with art that I sit on my hands for a few days.
Thanks for the link; dropping one back at ya.
