When in doubt, paint what you know

Oil on brown paper. Approx 50x70cm

I think he's listening to her heart. Or maybe just resting on her bosom. Boys I know are fond of singing a song of which the line 'everyone needs a bosom for a pillow' is about all they can remember. And it's a strange concept. You wonder somedays if you could just detach your boobs and pass them over and go about your business, leaving the boy at home sitting on the couch with the bosom.

He can reach out and grab it occasionally just to check it's still there. For cranky days, it would be a good solution.

This is a draft on brown paper. It's dressmakers paper and is great to scribble on as long as the paint stays nice and runny. Good from a scrambling paint sort of view. Not good for  anything with depth. And because it's not primed, you can just rub it back when you have finished or the paint is just all wrong. Found the paper in our rubbish room downstairs. Someone had decided that the world of dressmaking wasn't for them. Their lost, my gain.
