Medium: Acrylic on acid-washed steel
Dimensions: 22" W × 27" H
Original Artwork — One of One
Available for Purchase
Buddy was inspired by the film Buddy and a memory that has stayed with Doug for years. When his youngest daughter was little, Buddy was one of those movies she watched over and over—and over—again. Years later, that familiar gorilla became the inspiration for this original work. Painted against the naturally developed patina of acid-washed steel, Doug gave the subject a quiet, contemplative expression, turning a nostalgic family memory into a piece all its own.
Created entirely by hand, Buddy is a one-of-one original, signed by the artist.
About the Medium
Each steel panel is individually acid washed to develop its own natural patina before the painting process begins. Rather than covering the steel, Doug works with the variations already present in the metal, allowing its color, texture, and imperfections to become part of the finished artwork.
The result is a piece that changes subtly with its surroundings and carries the unmistakable character of the steel beneath the painting.
