Learning the lesson from the 16th painting, I used stencils for this latest effort. Again, what a difference stenciling makes–from saving time to enhancing the overall aesthetics. One day, I’ll be better at sketching and painting. Until then, it’s stenciling all the way! I wanted to strike the balance between spacing out the items and using the spacing between the items. Nonetheless, I think there’s a little too much unused space.
In this scene, the twins discuss the symbolism behind some popular chocolate candy. At first, Infinity is skeptical, but Negativa convinces her that chocolate can symbolize sexual/relationship preferences. For example, Kisses are for women who believe that size doesn’t matter and Dark Chocolate with Chili is for women who are into S & M.
I had the hardest time taking a picture of all 17 paintings since my dining room light hangs menacingly in the shot. After shuffling some furniture around and lying on the floor, I captured all of them without the glare or obstruction of the chandelier. Only three more paintings can fit on this wall. The remaining four will hang on an adjacent wall. Hopefully, all 24 will be completed before it’s too cold to paint on my balcony. Since I live in Texas, “too cold” is around 60 degrees!
