Well, after approximately two years, two years! ...of painting, stopping, painting, changing, correcting, being lazy, and painting some more, I finished The Bullfighter. I thought I saw this bullfighter almost finished many times, but I was wrong, it needed more of this, more of that, etc. This bullfighter had fallen forgotten in the back of my mind many, many times. It took so long to rescue him and finish him. I really hope you like it. I finished it a couple of months ago, now it hangs framed, in one of the walls of our restaurant. It is the biggest painting.
What did I learn from all this? ...I learned that I loved painting in this large format (4' x 5'), and I also learned that this is the last time I wait so long to finish something I started.
And now what?
Like I said previously, I finished this painting a few months ago, an this time I’m not going to wait to start a new one.
I will paint again some traditional character or street vendor from the city where I grew up (Lima, Perú), somebody I remember. This time I will go back to some food street vendor. I’m pretty sure this time will be a “Picaronera”, which is commonly a lady that sell “Picarones” which are something similar to doughnuts, with lots of syrup on the top check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picarones
My 4x5 canvas is waiting. White, empty, just waiting to be the home of my next character.
Best regards,
Hugo
looks amazing bro. I would hang that in my pad any day.
