This Piece was kind of an accident but i love the way it turned out.. After doing an initial drawing in Charcoal from a photo, I sprayed it with varnish and then worked it up with oils.. there was way too much colour going on and it looked like puke, so i got a little hasty and threw turps on it and rubbed back the lower part of the face.. I was surpried that the original drawing was in tact, I though the turps would have eaten the varnish and smeard the charcoal.. I felt the intense colour pallette worked in the eyes when it was an obvious focus and had been balanced by the sparse neutral pallete below… So i stuck with the direction at it ended up feeling like a ninja guy with his face obscured by a mask.. damn ninjas are cool..

Here is a better photo of this painting, I named it so, because this guy reminds me of an athlete from the future.. It was a turning point for me, and one of the first successful piece i did with oils in Tasmania.. I gave it to Tony and David from Look Print who have acted as my patrons in a big way. thanks for all there support over the last year and half! hope you enjoy it guys!
