"Sassy" from the Mega Afro Puff series

I've got this insane love of Afros and decided I wanted to do a series dedicated to ladies sporting the biggest and fiercest afros.

The first in the Series is called Sassy.

This is a textured acrylic knife painting, done with a tiny painting knife. The background is made with plaster mixed with sand and acrylic paint.

A few weeks later, I got curious to see if I could duplicate this painting in wax.
I did a better job at controlling the wax flow than I did in Afro Soul.
