Fixation

This painting is entitled,"Fixation." Once again my model is my daughter, Christina. Her beauty is very unique. At only 18, she simultaneously exudes a youthful innocence and sensual maturity. I am able to paint her as a young woman or as a child and so she continues to inspire my work.

I focused upon color and pattern in this oil painting. Perhaps you can notice the influence of Gustav Klimt. It is still a work "in process" but I am becoming more confident in my handling of the brush and of my palette.

I actually like this piece. I believe it offers a glimpse of my capabilities as an artist. Patience, practice and discipline...
