I've been busy! These are some of the paintings I've been working on lately. With my internet broken, my phone broken, and new speakers to hook up to my computer, I have a feeling that this painting kick is only going to get better. This particular painting was a weekend project using a photograph I took of a little girl in Chefchauoen. I'm still working on it; something must be done with the background. This is my balcony, by the way. You can see some of the creative graphitti on the building below.
Tired of having a bunch of screaming faces in my apartment (flamenco portraits are not a cheery subject), I painted this one as a sort of joke. I need to play up the clownishness a bit more, but it's been fun to paint! Pouty lower lips are my new specialty.
I hated this painting until recently. It's been frustrating me since September or so, but with some rust orange and crazy greens, I'm beginning to like it a bit more. We'll see how much more it evolves when I get the original photograph (taken at a flamenco show last year) out to compare.
