Project: 12 + 12, 12 x 12’s by Craig L Haupt #3

Title-“Dessert”  Fourth sequenced post.

Posted is the “Dessert” Finished painting.

When reviewing/critiquing my paintings with a few friends/artists, I incur a certain degree of lighthearted ribbing when I mull over minor elements for their logical implications. In this case-the ‘screw/bolts’ in the bracket for the head and shoulder/hand/jaw joints – do I make them all with cross marks in the circles (as drawn on the worksheet) for the pivot action or solid color. After weeks and weeks of mental anguish, I opted for the solid, since a ‘cross marking’ would read as a tightened ‘Phillips head’ screw whereas the solid would denote a bolt/dowel to suggest the potential for movement. My, my, my, the decisions artists are faced with!

The project will be posted in the following sequence, 1st Monday-the sketch/doodle or related source from whence the painting has originated.

The second Monday-the 12”x12” pencil worksheet showing the intended painting.

The third Monday-a progress post of the painting.

The fourth Monday-the finished painting.

Then repeat.
