Allicin

This domain is finally paid for, so I might as well use it! Here is a painting I completed a few days ago. It’s derived from an image I flipped left to right and then inverted the colors. The model’s skin is therefore blue here. I wanted to create that effect. Since the world adjacent to ours, in this peculiar hyperdimension of fake time, is a sort of an inversion that mocks our world because it doesn’t have to abide by our rules, I gave it a spooky ghostly quality.

I love drawing models. I encourage other artists to join life drawing classes. So much skill and keenness of perception is gained from hours of practice drawing and painting the human figure. I titled this piece Allicin as allusion to the property found in garlic. Garlic is a smelly spice or herb to eat, but it’s health benefits excel past many other health foods. For example, Allicin is known to significantly reduce hypertension for people with high blood pressure. Allicin is my model for relaxing me. I love her.
