Puppeteer Art Painting

Borsheim's Art of the Human Form

Puppeteer 24" X 18" Oil on Canvas © 2001-2004 Kelly Borsheim Private Collection (Texas)

The oil painting Puppeteer shown above was painted with raw umber and titanium white back in 2001, I think. I had set it aside to allow the oil paint to thoroughly dry before glazing in the yellows and reds, but did not get back to it until early 2004. This is one of those paintings in which I combined more than one life drawing session, randomly choosing where to place each individual composition. Then back in the studio, I had the idea of creating the arch doorway and the red drape. Sometimes I do not really know where the ideas come from -- probably a life-times full of various memories. I like the intrigue of this painting.
