My choice



This was a very fun painting to do. There was a lot of experimenting with texture...I don't use texture in my paintings so this was new to me and fun. Almost everything has texture in this piece. I did it for day of the dead and during the celebrations they eat sugar skulls so I used glitter on the skulls at the top to give them a grainy, sugary look and feel. The candles I wanted to feel like they had wax coming off of the so I used some stringy medium to get the drippy wax look. The texture in the big skull also gives it a nice shading which was not planned but I like that it happened. I like the painting it is one of my favorites.
