detail, portrait 3


The cherry blossoms were painted from a photo of cherry blossoms in the newspaper. The ivy was painted from a sprig of ivy from Wes's yard, laid next to the paper.

These are part of my experiment, Put more things that look like things in the background. Which is in turn part of the experiment, Make the background more specific; more truthful; more connected to the portrait & to me.
