This is one of my Selfie series, the only one that does not include me. I go to museums and galleries and take selfies of me with my favorite art- then recreate them in paint. Eduardo admired this painting of deKooning from the Chicago Institute of Art.

A painting of a Rabbit Girl who pours a river out of a clay pot. Above her, two doves hold a banner that reads "River of Love." A black swan floats on the water. To the girl's left we see a hummingbird, a fawn and a rooster, on the right, a fox.  

River of Love

The busy image is made with gouache on paper. It is created with a flat, graphic aesthetic in which the colors and shapes of food-like objects are emphasized more than their volume. The central figures are two pig's feet crossing each other, creating an X formation. Surrounding the pig's feet are slices of ox tail meat and leaves of Chinese cabbage. To the right of these are green cubes and an outlined bunch of bananas. To the left are banana slices and scoops of ice cream that appear to be falling from the top-left corner of the picture plane.

Willy Wonka

Portrait of a young woman who is from modern times, but carries a Renaissance look to her. The background painted with a rich Napthol Red, enhanced with horizontal lines of gold leaf that serve as a stark contrast to set off the three-quarter view portrait. The thin layers of paint over a grisaille underpainting create realism to the features of the face and the captivating blue eyes draw the viewer in for a closer look; wondering what the woman is seeing, feeling, and thinking.
