This is Big Bob, he's not new but he's constantly evolving. I started Big Bob a few years ago, he started off as an acrylic painting but as I got more into oil paints so Big Big started to evolve in oils. Big Bob measures 1.5 x 1 metres , that's why he's called Big Bob and not Little Bob!
I never feel 100% satisfied with a painting, I always feel like there is something else to be done. So, it's very hard to step back from something and say 'OK that's finished'. I think Big Bob will always be unfinished in my eyes, he grows with me as I progress as a painter. I wonder how thick Big Bob's layers of paint will be in 20 years time?
Close up details:
The brown lines and some of the white are still the original acrylic paint. Can you see the difference between the surfaces of the oil paint and the acrylic paint?
