She is finished!
My latest painting of my dear friend and muse, Gina..
this is a documentary series that I have been painting for about
9 years..
My Gina Series are all acrylic paintings on cradled boards at different times in her life..
Celestial Gina
9 x 12
This new portrait is when I met Gina, and is from a photo taken in the 1990's. I had just met her, she was 38 a single Mom, with a nursing degree working as a massage therapist.
That Rat Bastard
11 x14
The title and subject is something many people can relate to .. however Gina was brave enough to share how she was feeling about the relationship..
Gina in the Rain
16 x 20
Hair. Curly girls understand that it if you are confident in the rain it is a matter of
Self Love.
Gina Fights the Beast Covid
12 x 16
Gina works as a nurse in California, when the pandemic hit, all elective procedures were canceled and she was
forced into becoming a holy witness to the suffering of her patients. She texted me a photo in her uniform asking for prayers for herself and the hospital.
I translated that into this portrait.
This project is on going..
I have no idea how many portraits will be painted..
but I appreciate your kind attention..
this is a powerful project for me to undertake
and has been years in the making..
but one that I think is important..
Thanks for stopping by
as always I so appreciate you...
