I’d been working with my friend Bridhid for quite some time when a lady answered my ad on Craigslist. She’d lost quite a bit of weight and was on her way to Argentina for some reconstructive surgery. She wanted a portrait of her body before the change. I painted one for her and started on this one of Brighid the next day. The oddest thing, I painted the face of the lady onto Brighid’s body. I wonder what she looks like now and hope that she’s happy in her new skin.
