Painting Of Me By Eric Doc Hammer Painting Of Sky Saint N0.48 Comments: Saint No.48 A deviation by *Doc-Hammer (© 2005) Zoom In Artist's Comments *Doc-Hammer, deviant since Nov 21, 2004 OIL ON CANVAS, 16" x 20": Arcadia is pretty fucking generous with the framing. When they asked me what I wanted, I asked for the impossible. I was all "I see a gigantic gold frame. Carvings but no vines or shells or that kinda thing. Ya know, more pill and dart kinda shit. No coves, just steps. And it should be imposing. I want it to dwarf the painting. The bright luxury of the huge frame should make the painting darker and more untouchable. A big-assed stepped frame! Like an over designed Whistler... Ya know, shameless." I figured they would give me a signed reality check and we would have to compromise. WRONG! They just did it. AND they fucking agreed with me. Ya gotta go see this show... These frames are insane. MODEL: Her name was Sky. Lord knows if she renamed herself that, or if her parents came up with that one. Sky wasn't willing to comprehend the word "bra". After I sent a long email about the do's and don'ts of a bra, she showed up for the sitting in a wrap that was made of like silver metallic mesh. You would think that I have this huge pile of bras, in every color and every cut. I don't. And, frankly, it would be almost creepy if I did. So I was stuck with the wrap. I painted it as if were a black linen as to underplay the area and went with a strong contrasts of shadows on the nimbus and the thing that was my original reason for choosing her as a sitter...her face. Great head on her, huh? Really unique and eligant. Makes this one of my better paintings, I believe.

Stunning. Deviant: ~PaulGGmilltn (#168904054) Date: Sep 7, 2005, 5:06:53 PM Err...I wish I could see the paintings in person. Deviant: ~caitiecometrue (#168905053) Date: Sep 7, 2005, 5:10:40 PM you need the frame to keep her from jumping out of the image. you need the frame to keep her from jumping out of her skin. Thank god you've locked her away in that ornate golden vault... because otherwise, i think she'd be a little too much to handle. I'm grooving on the texture of her hair and the position of her arms, like always, vulnerability, but in this one, almost a vacancy. I think having the wrap sets her apart in the right kind of way- somehow, the fact that she's seemingly more clothed (or, as I viewed it, hiding her nakedness with a sheet) is a barrier that some of the others did without. she's gonna haunt me, man. i can't wait to see her in person -- --Caitie there's a hidden beauty finding its way out of everything. -- Son, Ambulance |
