I had tons of fun on this piece. I went on hiatus from painting...again! (I kick myself.) I'm glad to come back to it with a piece like this. When I was growing up, before I became an "artist," I would flip through magazines and find pictures that inspired me, and I'd draw them...just for fun. I remembered that in this painting, and I just had fun...for the first time in a long time. I was actually looking to paint something to go over my sofa in my new apartment. (I moved, and I love my new, bigger apartment.) This painting was inspired by my love for fashion and beauty...and the color pink. Recently, I got into painting small, 6" x 6" squares, and I think they were great training for this larger piece. I don't think anything thrills me like painting large. I'm starting to think - why not paint what I love and forget about being an artist?

Flattered

I just thought it was neat to log into to Facebook today and see that a client's relative likes my work so much that they put it on a birthday cake!
