Homage to Georges Seurat’s ‘ A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte ‘ !

I recall when painting this in the early ’90s, that after the large mass areas were painted with their foundational, primary color blocks with sizable brushes, the overall finishing patina, in the name of ‘ ‘Pointillism’ was done with my fingertips! I spent approximately 4 12 hr days using my fingertips of both hands for pointillist effect, note that the 3x coat applications of canvas priming with gesso, even when lightly sanding down the surface ‘tooth’ between coats, the painting surface is similar to 220 -320 grit sandpaper! Fingertips are remarkably sensitive, to begin with. There’s incredible endless communication through human touch/feel ‘ .. all of my fingertips’ skin became worn away & bloody, and at a certain point I recall attempting to use fine latex form-fitting gloves, and that worked to a degree, but the ‘ pointillist’ effect slightly suffered from lack of actual dexterity of flesh ‘fingerprints’, thankfully my fingertips healed back to normal by 12 days later. I would never again repeat this process.
