Her face is etched out in flowing lines that all follow the same path. Her hair is dark and given curls and volume in a lighter shade beneath this river of lines. Her eyes squint and look out, and she’s positioned in a three-quarter pose but her body’s only minimally sketched, bringing all the emphasis on this mostly empty canvas to the lined shadows cast by her face.

A large swath of pinky flesh-tones drips and sags as the canvas’s main attraction. The color scheme is what I love most. That’s all this painting really is anyway– random slashes and markings in colors that barely seem to go together in some places. The top layer of paint is raised, built up and sometimes too thick. Above the fleshy X is a closed pair of eyes, the eyelashes nearly lost in the color, but the thick dark eyebrows give them away.
