Paige Reads Madame Bovary, oil on canvas, 11"x14". Sold.
I have to admit that in complete frustration, I almost threw this one at the wall. It started off well, and I was feeling pretty chuffed with myself because of the interesting lighting and dramatic posture of Paige, but then something turned on me and the painting started to get really creepy. I guess, that's the risk you take when you paint a woman with a Madame Bovary vibe. It took me almost a day to rework it and make her look a little less foreboding. Now, I hope, there's only a slight feeling of haughty malevolence.

A Woman Called 'Misty Jones', oil on canvas, 11"x14". Sold.
I actually have a dress that similar to this one, although it's black, and over the course of one wild evening, I lost a great portion of it. Little bits of dress ended up in people's cocktails and in the crab dip. Fortunately, it had a slip so I didn't go revealing too much. A year later and the host of the party claims that he's still finding little shiny discs scattered around his apartment. I suppose it's a good way to avoid being forgotten.
