BULLISH Print

Stifled power. Bulls have always fascinated me. The way they are portrayed as a malevolent force in a world where they are always subjugated despite their power. Growing up with bullfighting as background noise, something my grandfather would have on the Portuguese channel, never paid much attention really,..until someone got hurt. I remember thinking 'why mess with a powerful animal?" I still tend to root for the bull. This painting started as a paint pen study and evolved into a more robust piece incorporating heavy body acrylics to achieve texture and a tinge of metallic that really doesn't come across very well in the photos. If you are interested, I'd be happy to provide video to get you a closer look.
