Artwork Description:

The full title is her eyes are a blue million smiles - Inkjet-printed with archival pigment inks - 100 cotton, Acid-free, pH-neutral Fine Art paper - Estimated turnaround time of 3-5 Days - Shipped directly from the printer Oil painting, ink drawing and collage elements are integrated in a digital environment with digital painting drawing. Representational realistic and non representational abstract images flow from one to the other, gradually or abruptly, in an abstract, undefined space. This undefined space lends a sense of timelessness even though there is activity taking place. Not to be taken too seriously, there is an element of absurdity humor always at work. DADA painting upgraded for the 21st century..... Usually a picture starts off with an image of a person, or with some other found image, but not always. A picture could start with an abstract gesture drawn with oil stick on canvas. A person may come to mind and the beginnings of a portrait are set in motion. Or, if a landscape scene is suggested, a collage element may lead the progress of the picture. Or, a portrait is drawn in ink on paper, brought into the digital environment and worked on altering it digitally, adding collage or fragments of oil paintings which are all then altered, fused, cutup, distorted, smudged, and bastardized in various ways. The picture then becomes an interplay of painted analog digital gestures, drawn sketches, and or collage elements usually old master paintings or fragments of photos.
