mask

It's been awhile since I participated in Illustration Friday and I'm wimping out this time by posting a small (5" x 7") mask painting, part of a triptych actually, that I painted five years ago for my uncle. Strangely enough, I feel inspired to paint masks right now. Maybe in the new year when I have more time.

Oh great. Thanks for further tempting me. I have a collection of masks from all over the world on my wall - I've got a bit of an obsession going on.

I think masks are fascinating! I was just eyeing a ceramic one that I made years ago...

I too like the bold colors of yours!

Nice one, one of the few masks that seems a happy mask.

A beautiful mask but quite different from what I expect from 'ethnic' masks as they usually look intimidating and aggressive unlike your happy one.
