COMING OUT, will be exhibited at the Gallery at Westfield Broward, Plantation, FL in my solo exhibition, Garden Party, which opens April 14. I invite you all to attend.
It is is yet another example of my being inspired by an old sketchbook drawing. The sketch of the smoking girl is the basis for the painting.
The first sketch shown above is the original drawing. On the second sketch, I layered translucent flowers over the original so I could see both the girl and the flowers clearly. This became the working drawing which guided my painting. After building up many layers of paint for the girl and the flowers, I painted the insects, wings and unraveling pupa. I then added cut paper for texture
As the the butterfly in the painting is "coming out" of her pupa, so is the painting "coming out" of the drawing.
