This painting shows a pale, round face with big blue eyes and a matching blue hat. The rest of the body is a loose, brown outline with jagged edges and splatters, like ink bleeding on paper. The background is mostly white, with faint brown streaks and specks scattered around. The face stands out sharply against the messy, uneven body. It looks like two different styles were slapped together—one clean, one rough. Next, check out Mike Kelley to see how he mixed styles like this in other works.
