A true Icon. So many people have done their version of Marilyn. So…why not me. I love the sex appeal she brings. I remember watching the movie My Week with Marilyn and I thought to myself…how can you paint an icon in a way that no one has done? Myself included.
I thought about this idea while driving.
Go Figure.
It also played nicely with the G.O.A.T. I prepared to do 2 animals portrait style and when I came across this one I knew I had to paint it.
I wanted to see if I could paint water and create movement with a very simplistic approach.
I figured with wildlife it would make more sense.
This painting has me wanting to paint more landscape nature scenes but more stylistic than reality. Mother Earth, in all of her beauty, is very hard to recreate in a realistic form. I find myself wanting to be in the moment when I’m outdoors.
No phone, no texting no social media…just be.
Winter Blues. How snow looks after its fallen from its purity. The winter can have a warm feeling with its beauty and chill. Of course, it’s the holiday season, when it finally takes hold and we welcome winter into our hearts.
Listening to a lot of music that seemed to have the word blue in it. I like how blue can have so many meanings, feelings and references. When I look at this painting from time to time it reminds me of The Matrix.
