The first abstract face painting was done when all my attempts to get the skin tone right for a portrait painting just didn't work. No matter how much I tried I just couldn't paint the portrait. I looked at the paints on my palette that were already mixed and then looked at the painting and I just "knew" what to do. The colors represent the emotional life of the child. Her mother died shortly after her birth. Despite the tragic beginning of her life she was surrounded with love and often heard kind and loving words as represented by the pink. The red represents her own strength. The greens her nurturing environment, the blues her attachment to her mother.
