This is one of my works on paper. A little, colourful, original painting. Its starting point was a profile of a lady taken from an old orange and black Greek vase. But I overpainted the seated lady. I let some of the under-layer read through. I love that the Greek lady’s necklace looks like a cat sitting in the chair lady’s lap. I feel that sometimes the under-layer can add context, history. Maybe cultural history. This is a modern lady but she’s hinting at where she came from, at the same time.
