This week’s art is a tiny acrylic painting of Kate Bush, dressed up and acting like a bat.

I was inspired by one of the photos of Kate Bush taken for (if I recall correctly) the inside gatefold sleeve of her Never For Ever album in 1980. As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago when I accidently drew Kate’s face on a figure in a pencil drawing, if I were trying to do that, I would’ve failed.

To be fair, this painting is a whopping two-inches square. I did it on a sample of kitchen tile that I found in my basement. My dad used to design kitchens, so finding tile samples is not unusual in this house. Because I was working so small, the end result is a bit low-res. I did this using spent watercolor brushes dipped in acrylics. Then it took a week to dry before I could scan it (which, ironically, I had to do at a very high resolution to make up for its tinyness) and you see the end result above.
