Doll Top
14 March 2025
Acrylic on hardboard
15.25 x 54.75 in (38.7 x 139.1 cm)
I had this hardboard which is a repurposed top of a discarded doll house - hence Doll Top. It's a great surface and very light. It's the opposing end of Flower House. It sat for months waiting to be finished. There was a call for art from a local gallery called "a muse". I've been told the sky is my muse, and I can't really argue that. It is the most dynamic and diverse canvas beyond anything we could create. I wanted to paint some spirited clouds in attempt to honor the muse. The original idea (almost a year ago) was to put some poppy pods at the end of their cycle in the foreground. I might still add those, but funny enough, those showed up in Old Poppies which was painted after this. They would be similar if added to Doll Top.
The gif showing some of the stages. If you pay attentions to the dates,
it took me 314 days to finish it.
