The inspiration for this painting was a regular guest at the café where I worked, an obese, miserable-looking man who worked at a local healthcare office and quite obviously wasn’t enjoying his time there.
This is one of the acrylic paintings where I finally managed to blend the paint to create the illusion of three dimensionality. This, as well as the dark-light and primary colour contrast, elevates the rhino from the background. I added some lighter texture to the left of its head to indicate light smoke.
