Women, with Towel shows another in the mirror.  A third appears in outline, derived from the Portrait of a Young Woman, recently attributed to Leonardo.  Her outline is done with a water color pencil, otherwise the work is acrylics.  The background is applied with a knife.  Original and prints.

Panamanian Woman as Goth

This is another version of my Panamanian friend.  She was one of our Spanish teachers – they called them facilitators as they did not do formal teaching as much as immersion.  Always friendly and in a great mood.  It was only in the past year I learned she had trained as a model and was so good in front of a camera.

Go, Figures

 

Go, Figures started life as a regular modeling session but in acrylics, not the usual way to go.  It evolved into this.  The background is inspired by František Kupka’s Mme Kupka (1910). He was a Czech artist and she his wife. I saw the painting at the Nieu Gallery in NYC, at a special exhibit that included some of Klimt’s famous paintings.

Self Portrait In Indiana Jones Hat

I was at my nephew’s house and he had this hat.  It belonged to one of his friends.  I guess he’s left it behind.  I love these hats!

Panamanian Woman II

This is another version of Panamanian Woman.  I got to know my Panamanian friend when we lived in Panama when we were in the Peace Corps.  We lived and worked in the mountains and got to know quite a few people in that coffee producing community.
