Artist Reply: LOL glad you recognize her, nobody else does...........I see something pure and a more grown up version but definatly I see her peeking through even though all the colour is zapped out of this painting. Thanks Olga for a beautiful comment.
Fiona, I really like this piece, the eyes are the first thing one sees, taking away all the other stuff (shadows, lines etc.)makes for a powerful portrait, especially framed by the heavier hair and the right upturned shoulder, she seems so vulnerable, hiding in that hair, I love it! *suzi
Artist Reply: Thank you Susan - yes there is something vunerable isn't there - its the 6 year old seeing through teenage eyes
Artist Reply: Thanks Emily - a little strange that a six year old photo inspired this look, but if you drain all the colour out of a photo you get a pop art effect and a somewhat older looking Gabrielle - maybe this is her as a teenager LOL!
