I did this piece in the midst of an all-consuming relationship. The piece was done to illustrate my part in the relationship. You can just make out my boyfriend's chin and shoulder. Notice that the hues become cooler as we are further apart and warmer as we are closer together. My happiness depended upon him. This piece is 3 ft by 2 ft. In Lubbock, Texas wind, for a 95 pound girl, that is like carrying a sail across campus. Of course, the alternative was taking this massive portrait on the bus and get strange looks for this seemingly egotistical painting. I might as well have worn a sign saying, "Yes, I am one of those weird art students."
