Skeleton in the closet (under painting)


Max officially started day care on Monday (he'll be going two days a week) that means two days in the studio to get cracking on some oils. I layed in an under painting of this really cool skeleton key. I placed it in a shadow box and adjusted the light source to add interest to the composition.

I've admitted before that I don't really enjoy naming paintings but I like this working title so far.."Skeleton in the closet".

    How could you NOT use that title? It's perfect!

    This has a real N. C. Wyeth feel to it, somehow. Like it could be a spot illustration at the beginning of a chapter of some great mystery/adventure story!

    Can't wait to see how you finish it up, Todd!

    Good luck with the little bit of extra painting time.
