‘DREAMGIRL’ (2025)
Oil on canvas
24x24”
Painting of an elderly woman with white hair, wearing sunglasses, sitting on a bench, holding a bag of groceries and a cane. To the left of her, a disembodied band pulls back a white curtain, revealing the picture beneath. The curtain and hand are also painted. Behind woman, in the background, there is a lamppost, a pigeon on the pavement, and a couple who are looking into the distance.

Messy underpaintings vs finished pieces…
A split image: top image shows underpainting in muted browns of a black cat lying on a bed with a string of pearls in its paws, the bottom image shows the finished oil painting, the bedsheets are pale green with lots of folds, the cat is darker and more detailed. A split image: right image shows underpainting in muted browns of a woman with long dark hair sitting naked on the floor, her arms and legs crossed in front of her, looking at the viewer, there is an open door behind her where the light source is coming from, and the corner of a bed can be seen to the left of the picture, the left image shows the finished oil painting, the bedsheets are pale green with lots of folds, the woman is more defined by the paint, and an addition of a cut away piece of flesh on the arm and hand closest to the foreground, revealing her muscles and tendons can be spotted as a difference from the original underpainting A split image: top image shows underpainting in muted browns of a string of pearls draped across two unopened envelopes, one is long and brown with a cellophane panel, and the envelope underneath is large and white, there is a wooden surface underneath the objects and a wicker frame in the background, the bottom image shows the finished oil painting, rendered in more detail, the string of pearls are shiny and reflective and the cellophane panel is brighter in the light, there is clearer texture in the wood grain
