Go thick or go home. That’s what I always say. Okay, so this is probably the first time I’ve ever said it, but roll with it, y’all. Part of the joy of painting over old paintings is that you kind of have to go thicker with the paint, which means an opportunity for more palette knife work and delightfully sloppy fun. Like the last painting I posted, this one is a cityscape, but more identifiably so. Don’t ask me what city. Since it’ll be hanging in the tattoo studio, we’ll name the city Ratatatslandia. Or Emilyville. Too “on the nose?” Well, I’m open to suggestion on the title. For now, we’ll go with something boring like, “Abstract Cityscape in Blue.” Wow. Catchy.

Remember how I said that most of the paintings I’m creating for the tattoo studio I’m opening involve painting over old ones that I wasn’t so fond of? Well, here’s one of those. I’m applying plaster to the studio lobby walls, but there’s a little alcove that leads to 2 of the tattoo rooms that I’m not plastering. In order to segue from the plastered room to the non-plastered studio rooms, I’m mimicking the look of said plastering on the painting I’m hanging in the alcove. This is almost entirely palette knife work, with just a little brushed on glazing at the end:
