Rose Knight (work in progress)

This is a painting I have been working on, tentatively called ‘rose knight.’ Rose knight was originally started while I was listening to sometimes sentimental and sometimes bombastic classical music (Strauss: Der Rosenkavalier). He is a fearful and dangerous bully who clutches weapons and other comforting items to himself while worrying about what the cone head people are saying about him – at least that is the story I was telling myself as I was painting it so far. Please create your own narrative.

The scan is a bit flat and dark. There are hints of green in the knight’s face. Still working on this one.
