Icons





well, i love them...Icon paintings - paintings of Icons. Whatever. I love to combine flat space and high detail too. and i love to paint people - real people and pretend people. If i could only do that, i'd be happy forever...
This painting is 20x20" acrylic with metallic leaf on canvas. It will be in a show at the Banana Factory - an art facility in Bethlehem, PA. Sorry, their website is a little lame or i'd put a link... Dates of the exhibit are: Jan. 29-March 27. If you know me, you may recognize the face a little...

also i wanted to post this pic too because i think it's funny - yes that is Thom Yorke from Radiohead in this girl's photo - must have been a nice surprise when she looked at her pics from vacation!!
