Working on a set of 3 that need to be framed so better get my painting mojo on.
My friend Athira posed for the last exhibition. A dancer, she did some choreography to 'Singing In The Rain' for me in Northbridge with an umbrella.
What I was doing with the images originally was sketching them out for ink drawings focusing on the red umbrella. It's morphed into sepia-toned ink drawings of a tight-rope walker.
I sometimes wonder if my paintings change when the model's situation changes, because I know them maybe. I wonder if they ever feel how I interpret their portrait reflects how they're feeling at the time I paint it. I'd be interested to know.
