| "Louise's Ballerina" Gouache; 6"x17"; 2012 |
A million years ago. . . probably close to 5 actually, my Sister-In-Law graduated from Highline Community College doing some law related major. I should probably know exactly what she majored in, but I don't call my brother as much as I should. I'm a bad older sister.

| Color comps. Originally the chosen painting was #3, but after a paper mishap and having to start over, it turned into #2. |
Anyway, I gave her an IOU, along with her graduation card, that stated I'd do a painting for her. She has framed magazine pages of some of Degas' ballerinas in her bathroom, so I thought it might be a change of pace for me to do a "normal" ballerina (as opposed to a gothic, black swan type ballerina). I used her bathroom's color pallet (God I hope she hasn't repainted in the last two years), and her hair, as inspiration.

| Got tired of drawings ballerinas and drew Poison Ivy instead. |
So, Louise, here's your painting 5 years later! (One day I'll learn to stop putting work before personal stuff, and hopefully before I'm 50.)
