Where? Oh! Where? Is This Painting Going To End?


Do you remember this painting I posted in 2012? Well, I had this painting tucked away for nearly a decade before deciding to repaint portions of this piece. Below, show the changes. Yes, there is a creepy silhouette peeping photographer hiding in the lower left corner of painting. 

Why? When I work on problem pieces; often times, I add silly or weird images for interest before totally painting over the whole thing.

Still, I am not satisfied and most likely will repaint in the future. As it is now, the paint is very thick and will most likely crack, eventually. I began this piece in acrylic then changed over to oil. There are textures added from a palette knife also heavy brush strokes. The canvas weight is heavy due to the many layers of oil. I enjoy running my hands over the rough textures of paint created through the years. Like scars the texture adds interest to some or a mess to others. 

Maybe, I will post again in another decade to more changes I will make to this painting.  It needs a name. Any ideas?
