| "The After Hours" 8x10 oil on panel Click Here to Bid--Thank You! |
In the meantime, for today’s Challenge Day 2 I wanted to paint a subject a little out of my let's say out of my nature subject "comfort zone." My first thought was a figure which used to paint frequently but rarely now. Then I remembered a photo reference I took earlier in the year...
One of my “guilty pleasure” classic TV shows that I sometimes catch late at night is the original black and white Twilight Zone. And one of my favorite TZ episodes is The After Hours.
This is the episode where a young woman name Marsha, who’s shopping in a creepy department store for a last minute gift, slowly comes to realize (spoiler alert) that she’s really a mannequin.

ReplyDeleteOh yeah this is lovely and love the story too. I remember that show and use to love it because it always seemed so funky, sometime creepy and just fun when I could figure them out. Love this challenge and it's fun finding new art friends.
