Artist’s Note:
This artwork was painted when I was an art student.
The original subject was a fellow student
who had had a pretty tough life.
Her art at that time was dominated by broken and torn dolls.
In the face of her difficult life she was forthright and presented
to the world with her head held high in some defiance
of any dross she might encounter.
She made me feel sad but at the same time
I could admire her persistence
in the face of her challenging life.
I chose here to paint her inner dignity, beauty,
vivacity and spontaneity.
Nothing was going to hold her back
from moving forward with her life.
The success of this artwork is in its spontaneity.
This is something Auntie Mame knew all about. NW☺︎
