This is my newest painting. It is another version of the painting I did for the Double Exposure Exhibition last year. I sold that painting so decided to do another. This one is quite different than the first one I did based on a photo by Mary Nation. The rules for the exhibition were to do a painting in our own style of the image taken by the photographer we were paired up with. I tried to keep it as close to Mary's photo as possible yet still have it reflect my painting style. For the painting above I decided to use the same idea but to glam it up. I used a frame that I had refinished in gold and incorporated lots of glitz into the painting. It has such a regal look that I am considering renaming the painting "The Queen and Her Prince". What do you think about that idea?
Here is the photo the painting is based on and the first version I did for the exhibition. Both are much more subtle than the new painting.
I have a good friend from Ohio coming for a visit soon. We have been BFF's for over 40 years and I look forward to spending time with her again. I probably won't get much work done while she is here but, on the other hand, we used to paint together back in the day so..... maybe I'll find a project we can work on while she is here. Yes, I think that sounds like a plan! I bet she will enjoy doing that. It will bring back memories of the "good old days".
