Beatnik In A Keyhole, 5 x 7 (a painting by Denny – 2011)

I’m not quite sure if I was going for the beatnik look or the burglar look.  Either way it makes me laugh.  All of the “keyhole” series is painted on canvas flat boarding.  I’m still trying to get used to painting on such small canvas……it’s hard ot get used to.

    I think he looks like a Flamenco dancer. Or a French burglar. I don’t see Beatnik, though keyholes are small so perhaps the rest of his body exhibits more Beatnik like features.

    Love his hair. Or is that a toupee?

    Then it will be “French Burglar:.

    Oh thank you my mighty kitsch queen for mentoring me towards a proper title for this one! I was stuck on this one, wasn’t really feeling the beatnik vibe. Thanks Allee!

    Yes, he’s wearing a cheap, nylon toupeee that has chemical agents that always keep his hair shiny at all times. I also think he’s missing a tooth.

    Allee, I have a hard time getting used to painting “small scale – 5 x7” and find myself doing a bit of shaking on the smaller aspects of painting with canvas this small.

    Okay, thanks for the advice.

    Hey Allee, I’m thinking about doing my one painting “Show Time” on a much larger scale. Will keep awmok.com posted.

    I miss LA.
