Sexual-reference aside I've always found the apprehension most people have to get close to art amusing, especially after the artist himself gives them permission to get close or even touch the piece. I understand it. I don't touch other people's art without permission and probably wouldn't bring it up if I wanted to...but I do tend to get my face right up next to the surface to see the texture and figure out part of the process. The detail has always been an interesting aspect of art to me and I think it's lost on many people. Whenever I'm making art around others I encourage, even force some people to take a closer look.
You want to know the materials? well get up here with me and I'll show them to you...You like the texture? well wait till you aren't standing five feet away. You like that mark? Well it's even better to touch! (this is getting inappropriate)..Anyways...If anyone sees me painting live, feel free to get right up there and take a look, you only get part of the impact looking at the whole thing from far back...
