A large movie-themed work that focuses on &#8211; you guessed it &#8211; the Goonies. The challenge this time is incorporating 11 figures to work together to create a cohesive composition. My inspiration for this was none other than Rembrandt van Rijn. Rembrandt painted &#8220;The Night Watch&#8221; and in that work he successfully stacked figures from front-to-back as opposed to left-to-right. So I borrowed from this idea to stack my characters in such a manner that hopefully the viewer is not overwhelmed when looking for the center of interest. I don&#8217;t want to give away too much about the painting until I&#8217;m farther along. I want this to be a surprise and unveiled to unbiased eyes. I love this movie so much and I&#8217;m working hard to do it justice. I hope to have it done by Halloween.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for now, I have to get back to the painting. Check back later. Thanks for hanging out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new video as been posted to my YouTube channel.
