I accidentally pulled an all-nighter last night while working on this one. I was totally engrossed until I saw sunlight creeping through the basement windows.
Charles Bukowski was a rough-and-tumble kinda character so I took a rough-and-tumble approach to the painting. Brushes, painting knives, fingers and occasional splashes of turpentine.
Not a perfect likeness but I feel like I got his essence.
My wife described it as “scary".
Mission accomplished.
