The model inspired this painting. This is not unusual, my creativity is often grabbed by a prospective model before the painting idea comes to me, but in this instance, it was not just the model who inspired me but her writing. This model is a writer, and this painting was inspired by a short story of hers about a woman whose home is taken over by sentient birds. Her skirt ended up also having a significant impact on the painting as the flowers on migrated off it and onto the painting’s background. I had such fun painting all the various bright colors on this over life-sized canvas. This painting is part of my Literature and Art grouping.
