Two Curious Onlookers

There are two creatures witnessing this picture.  One, from above, one below.  First curious onlooker:

. . a little plastic skeleton my wife planted in my studio,
looking down from over my art table.



Lately i've been trying to do more frequent posts, but only of one or two images.



But for this post, i've indulged in several more pics of it, mostly to show some texture that got lost when i first posted this image many years ago.



Obviously this is fabric, but there's also some goofy addition, acrylic, cinnamon, sea sand, fixitave, and even some glue. Detail that gets usually lost when it's usually scanned or photographed.



Though it's technically not one of my stronger faces, i was going for some of that 'ugly grace' that Egon Schiele's women seem to possess.  Not comparing my and his work, but you probably know how i meant that.  Just as an example of style.     


It's quite a bit larger than what i usually stuff,  as you can see from the Pink Shades Dude on the right, for size comparison.

Which brings us to our second curious little onlooker . . 

. . down in the left corner.
