From The Yellow Tape Portraits. Eleven

eleven, 2009, acrylic and oil pastels on canvas, 91×152 cm

It’s funny. I almost didn’t include this one in the show. But it was a favorite among the gallery visitors and eventually found a home.



From The Yellow Tape Portraits. Four, Thirteen, Six

four, 2008, acrylic and oil pastels on canvas, 91x152 cm

Yes, yes, they’re not in order here, but Thirteen was indeed painted after Four. I titled them after they were all complete and hanging in the gallery. I added two bows to the one above, right before the show. She’s wearing her skin on the outside rather than covering it up. (more…)

Si’s Girl, 2007

Acrylic on canvas

91×152 cm

In 2007, just out of the blue, I decided to paint a picture using dark, dark colors. I can safely say that this is the darkest painting I’ve ever done. It was painted at a time when I felt my happiest in a long while. I usually hide behind bright colors, but I felt safe enough to leave this woman enshrouded in the dark. I only ever did three more ‘dark’ paintings, one of which is The Note.
