I got a smelly candle and put it in my car now my whole car smells like total luxury. In pursuit of new ways to get luxury into my paintings I am spreading it all over my house. Why not have romantic tiny lights in the bedroom and gauze with beads in the windows and fresh roses on the table and huge leopard pillows to fall into. Why not have velvet everything?
Elaborate Luxurious and Delicious is the motto for this month. Don’t you think thick persian carpets are good to walk on and sink your toes into? Yes yes Yes. Mirrors with big gold frames and sparkly crystal shimmering in the windows. Don’t you think a canary should be singing too and some other sweet music wafting? yes Yes yes! And the whole house smells like flowers and yang yang.
I am a Northwest artist who is fascinated by faces and people. I work with a brush drawing of a face or human figure. Then I apply ink, paint and gel in various layers to create rich colors and textures. Along the way my images are painted, scrubbed, rinsed off, then ink and paint are reapplied until the final image is finally revealed. The process of discovering who the figures will become keeps me "intrigued and absorbed."
