Toulouse as a Poster

This is a lithograph of a friend of mine. It is a lightly hand-colored lithograph on
BFK Rives white printmaking paper. The hands aren't there because they aren't
supposed to be, in case you are wondering. I liked the shadows of the fingers, and
just suggesting some things better than drawing everything. It was particularly her
incredible eyes that I wanted to be the focus of the picture. This is not a portrait, it
is a work of graphic art, done for a particular purpose.                                     BID

I have been working on this image over a series of

years, actually, and am glad to have finally resolved

it. The contrast of her almost-black hair against the

turqoise background is something that has always

obsessed me, but I couldn't rectify the colors in her

face with the rest of the painting. I finally decided to

just "go with the flow", and I'm pretty happy with the

results, which aren't really true to life due to my

camera. Her face is really more colorful than this.
