ABOUT: This picture was very much the result of a discussion with my model about her gender identity. I had planned on doing a double portrait, where there is a sense of movement, transition, or more than one aspect of a personality. Immediately after she left from the session, I began work on this painting and decided to add the rainbow colors. It aligns so well with how she feels about herself, and her place in the world. It’s a happy picture!
