This is the first of a series of paintings using this image. Original film street photography of an eyebrow threading salon in Center City Philadelphia that taped those eyes onto their front window. Standing outside on sidewalk looking in, I framed the eyes & ceiling lighting inside to line up as her nose, and the composition began to come together - layering window reflections, subject, and interior planes into a single, dynamic image. After printing this image onto canvas, I then added layers of acrylic heavy body paint to outline & trace the lines of energetic flow of the composition - adding additional physical layers, giving the piece depth, energy, life, and movement. The finished piece feels exciting & alive in a way that I love. More pieces to come in this series, but this is the first.
