Grrr! She's smart; she's gorgeous; she's one of my favourite models; she's Carmen Kass. Seriously, though, how many other people do you know of who A-list models, chess masters, and politicians. For me the answer is none. Although I respect that kind of achievement tremendously, I just chose to do this work because it is striking. The outfit, and intensity remind me a little of the movie Kill Bill, but a million times better.
The original is pen&ink on 8.5"x11" paper, but it can be done as a print or a painting (see below). Completed June 4, 2012.
Preliminary drawing for a near life-size painting for another of my best friends, and my most generous patrons. As soon as he saw the original, he had to have it. Now, it keeps him in line.
Acrylic on canvas, 36"x48"
Completed around Thanksgiving, 2012.
