acrylic on canvas
24 x 36
This painting is a translation of a pencil drawing made from my imagination. ( I rarely draw from live models now, although for many years, I worked from nudes and from people sitting on the subway or in restaurants ). As I was drawing, I thought about how I want to portray this particular subject, Celebrating the Women Who Tell Our Stories.
My painting process here began with loosely drawing on canvas, and I used the basic composition I’d drawn on paper. As I was painting, I I made my color decisions slowly, as part of the process of moving the color over the canvas’ surface. The figures on the left were not in the original drawing and when I first decided to add two figures there, they were much smaller and a man and a woman. I painted over them after deciding I wanted those figures bigger.
At this time, when I work from direct observation, it is of the landscape, and that continues to inform me.
