A small square painting, mainly acrylic, with mixed in ink, spots of gouache, and shop dust. The upper left-hand side of the square canvas is a patch of Carbon black made less so by dust and particles that lay atop. By stark contrast, the majority of the canvas is covered in swathes of unbleached titanium and cadmium red. The wide strokes zig-zag in a hurried fashion to create an oblong sphere-type shape; however, the red and white tones bleed together and bring to mind images of bacon (the food, not the man). Beneath said bacon, are muted-mixed tones aside from splotch of blue. Finally, on top are splatters of deeper crimson alongside several polka dot type groupings of white and orange.

Created during quarantine after watching a documentary on Francis Bacon. A punny name—no relation in style choices or otherwise—simply a punny name to induce laughter during a time when it was needed most.
