As a teen I was fascinated with Judy Garland to the point of having several 8x10 glossy portraits of her pinned on the wall above my bed. I am still intrigued by her. This is one in a series of portraits I'm painting of superior and complex human beings. I place the famous subjects in a dark room, nestled in flowers which relate to their persona. All the portraits have windows in the background, revealing the same flowers (from afar) and a character who pertains to the subject's life. |
