Description:

This painting is from my “Girl, Woman, Girl” series. Simone is my favorite model having painted her numerous times. While attending a Painting Intensive at the San Francisco Art Inst. I stayed with her father. I “captured” her asleep in her father’s bed, a picture of 10 year old innocence. I was particularly struck by the richness of the blankets and the folds and layers which create partial images. I used nearly solid colors and let the line create the flow, fold and feel of bulk. The title, of course, makes reference to both art history and popular culture.

I'm just getting in line to say I agree with the previous comments. A very strong piece with bold color, line and form that are effective counterpoints to the reverie of her sleeping posture which is a difficult device to pull off for many.
