the foot. same model as king priapus, the naked guy on the toilet. did another oo his head. he was late 50's maybe and i didn't care to paint him at all, but 1 hour pose. so, i got paintings i like out of a model i didn't. not bad.
more of that accidental space. that foot is so real. even if it looks like he had really bad fungus. he didn't. i just used the paint i had for his toenails.
it's on my bedroom wall. i wish had more wall.
