The Mastertape

When I was in London last month, I went to see my favourite band, Porcupine Tree, play at the Kentish Town Forum. I met up with a friend to go see the show, and we were lucky enough to get very close to the stage. Sometime during the show, I could feel the power of the music coming through the speakers, and at that very moment, I could feel my hair blowing in the wind. That was the inspiration for my first beaded self portrait, the Maxell Girl.

It's true. My Creator has a mastertape, and this morning, I actually listened to it. I painted this fiery red & orange Planet Earth on a 16" x 20" canvas. I think I painted for almost 3 hours. So far, I like it, but my Creator says it's not complete... :0

How many artists would give a fortune for beaded self portrait with a firey red & orange planet as the foil??? Answer: All of them!

I'll be interested to see if you go with the majority on the voting, or if it helps you make up your own mind.
