Miniature Portraits 11 : “The Comedian”
Fozzie Bear is one of the sweetest characters on the Muppet Show. His jokes are debatable. His insecurities relatable. He’s a little gullible and naive… but he’s a kind and caring bear. And he never gives up… Statler and Waldorf heckle him ruthlessly, yet every night Fozzie gets up and cracks new jokes with his crumpled hat and polkadot scarf.
This little portrait celebrates Fozzie’s positive attitude and always finding the humour in life.
Art Process : This was originally a vintage print on wood of famous Italian art. The backing was coming off and hanging ribbon and ring was a bit yucky and needed replacing. I pried out the wood panel (which had been glued in), sanded and primed the surface. After drawing and painting studies, I painted the miniature on this wood surface. Once fully dried I coated it with several layers of matte varnish to protect the artwork. Then I carefully shaved down the edges of the the art needed to be trimmed down to fit it back in the frame. Once glued back in, I added a new ribbon & ring so it can be displayed on the wall. And finally added a new patterned back to seal it all in.
Miniature painting in acrylic on reclaimed wood in 10 x 13 cm vintage gold resin frame. Ready for wall display.
