Michelangelo’s first attempt at sculpting David. My process for coming up with this concept was based on grocery shopping. It was hot out so I walked down to my local market for a break. Outside the door was a shelf full of sumptuous watermelons. They just looked too good and inviting to pass up. I bought one and just sat and looked at it on my counter. I really wanted to paint it. That was the start of this tongue in cheek painting of Michelangelo sculpting his initial concept of David. I then thought of a friend who had a collection of concept “prototype” cars. After rambling here and there in my mind I put the two concepts together and settled on this dream like oil painting.
