November 2011, I received a call from Lisa Lisa. She wanted to commission me to do a painting of her. She met me at my show at the Modern Art Gallery in San Francisco when I produced The Art Undressed Show. She was one of the models! I was excited. We did a shoot and I am designing some layouts for the painting. I will be sending them to her and we shall see which one she picks.

I photographed her and designed her with herself, as she is a Gemini and has tattoos on her ass and her torso. Take a look at the images I produced from the shoot. This was a challenging painting to design, as she needed to have her front and her back showing. I designed the painting to include 2 of her.

I designed the final image that was approved for the painting. The painting is called LisaLisa Flying on Ring. The size will be 42" x 72", oil on canvas.
The painting on my wall in my studio. I have decided to do a lot of line work, as LisaLisa is to be a more graphic/pop art style . I noticed something when I posted the image on the left. I didn't draw in her left thigh and upper arm. It didn't look correct, so I went back in and drew them in. You can see in the image on the right that it adds so much, just this little adjustment! Can't wait to add color today.
January 16th,
The painting is coming along very well
I love the clouds and want to do more
clouds in other paintings.
I am almost finished and today I
will detail the other leg that is wearing
a white stocking.
I feel that it is not reading well and
throws the painting off balance.
January 21st I delivered LisaLisa Flying on Ring. The painting is an amazing interpretive piece.
Go to my blog to read about my interpretation of the piece.
jEvery element means something to me.
