I was experimenting with thin and thick acrylic combined with pen and ink. She became kind of shy and a bit awkward feeling which I liked. I may do more of these to recreate the personality I discovered.

This one was an experiment with color so it was difficult to photograph. The background is more of a lavender color. There are a lot of colors in the face and I'm going to keep making these small portraits as practice.

I started out making a color wheel with oil paints - blobs of color in the order of a prism or rainbow. They seemed like flowers so I added an imagined woman's face behind them, as if she were wearing the floral colors. I love working in oil again.

Clearly I love Picasso and thought it would be fun to try painting in his style, or one of his many painting explorations that with time were described as a style. I love his use of lines and his portraits of women. Hence this piece that I drew over an abstract painting on paper. This one is small but I'd love to do another version 3 or 4 times the size on canvas rather than paper!

This painting really works for me in that it's angular, has minimal colors and the face is slightly abstract. It seems that she is between activities or thoughts, wholly comfortable in the moment.
