Lady with the Pink Poodle

4 18”x24” acrylic on canvas

Painting II 2010

These four pieces were done for our random identity assignment. We were to choose a person that we could have no contact with and do four paintings based on that person. I chose a lady that came into my work with a pink poodle. I was appalled that a person would actually dye their pets fur. In this process I became disgusted with pink paint and wanted the viewer to experience the same sickness. With that, the fourth piece expresses this disgusting aspect with cat hair down the middle.
