Painting This Side of the Pandemic or, "Fables of Rhyme or Reason" a collection of narrative paintings reflecting our pandemic experience.
This painting was created for the touring exhibition "Perceive Me" curated by Kristine Schomaker, who was also the model for this piece.
The spots are metallic gold. I had in mind the feeling one gets when drifting in and out of mental focus, when truly relaxed at the side of a pool, sounds drifting further away, light bouncing on the water. There is of course some homage to Maxfield Parrish here.
