This painting revisits an image I have used for artistic inspiration before, but on a much larger scale. It is of two Xhosa masks I shot in South Africa on my first big international trip in 2010. The trip sparked a love of travel and I find myself continuously coming back to these masks as a symbol of that passion. It was an interesting exercise to repaint the same subject matter so many years apart and seeing the evolution of style. The way I see things and the art I like has matured since I first approached the subject. Here’s to continued artistic growth. Eternal Sleep 2 Acrylic on Canvas 6’x3’
