| My February 2013 Nibblefest Art Contest Entry (8 x 6) |
I got my Nibblefest Art Contest entry finished in time yesterday, and was able to upload and enter it into the contest last night as a 5 Day listing. So glad the rules allow for some wiggle room, because sometimes you just need it....
Speaking of 'wiggle', I think it's pretty clear the subject matter of my entry this time around -- not a lot of need for lengthy descriptions! Though I will say, as usual, when this month's theme "Domestic Animals" didn't conjure up a lot of promising ideas for me otherwise, I went looking to my usual 'musical influences' default fall-back. "Domestic Animals" made me naturally think of 'dogs'...... -- so, just how many 'dog' references can you think of in popular music? Probably a good many, but the very first one to come to my mind was the classic early rock ditty, "Hound Dog". Besides, I've been fishing for an excuse to paint Elvis -- always fun to tackle those much beloved, iconic historical faces. And ayway I figure one just can't go wrong with The King.....
The following is my auction description:
"Ain't Nothin' But...."
My entry for this month's Nibblefest Art Contest (NFAC) (~the theme for February being 'Domestic Animals') is a 5-Day auction for an original acrylic painting on an 8 x 6 found, flat wooden plaque. "Aint Nothin' But...." is signed and ready to hang.

Regular bidders will know I love looking toward musical influences for inspiration when casting about for monthly Nibblefest theme ideas. Reflecting upon "Domestic Animals" this month made me think of 'dogs'. 'Dogs' made me think of 'hounds'. And 'hounds' naturally made me think of.... ELVIS! (Really, how could I resist...???)

Note that this also officially constitutes my Faces #13 and #14 of the '29 Faces' Challenge -- never mind that I have fallen so hopelessly behind by now, I'm still aiming to catch up. Or try to at least......!
