The Rabbit Mask painting

“I was born in the year of the rabbit. My mother was also born in the year of the rabbit. An interesting bit of trivia. As for the painting, I achieve the thick textured look by putting the paint directly on the canvas. Squeezed straight from the tube onto the canvas. So if their is any shading or highlight to be put in, I have to put all the necessary colors next to each other. It does require a bit more preparation, but the painting part is more fun. More visceral. If it looked like cake frosting then I knew I was applying it correctly.”
