New painting: "Coyote Ugly"

Coyote Ugly is a playful nod to childhood cartoons and the surreal logic of their worlds. Inspired by the classic Road Runner and Coyote chases, it captures that unforgettable moment where the Coyote paints a tunnel on a cliff wall, hoping to trap his prey. This time, the tunnel is heart-shaped — a symbol that complicates the prank. Is love the illusion? Or the only real escape? Painted with layered textures and palette knife work, the rocky background adds depth and grit, while the road — crisp and bright — leads into the unknown. The bright blue sky beyond hints that perhaps, like Road Runner, love really can defy the rules. Meanwhile, poor Coyote is left with stars circling his head. This piece is a warm, nostalgic tribute to mischief, hope, and the belief that anything is possible.
