2021-2022.

This painting was originally going to be a portrait of one of my partners, but her vision of what she wanted changed and I was granted artistic freedom to do whatever I wished (she’s getting a painting soon) with this one, and like art does, this painting proceeded to paint itself - Oh, that’s not a ripple of space, that’s a space dolphin! Oh, there’s jellyfish swimming out of her legs. Oh, her body is made up of elements and stars - to teleporting dolphins in the background, space-whales splashing in her ankles, otters playing in her biceps to starry waterfalls and shining stars, this painting was a delight to create, and adds deep mystery and beauty to the room.
