*kiss

3' by 4'

acrylic and oil

I started to paint 'kiss' when I was contemplating multiple

perspective in Cubism. Initially I took a photographic

composite of common objects (vase, plant, etc.). I edited

this image both in-camera and in Photoshop. From here I

drew the image, then watercolored it and then began

to paint, following suggestions from the painting itself.

This painting has for me an ability to communicate from my

inner

world

as if it wanted to

tell me something, delight me or just make its presence known.
