My partner Paul and I did a number of photo shoots with models in the Chico area and Talia was one of our favorites. She had a really creative way of combining old-fashioned charm with hip sensibilities. She showed up to this photo shoot with red streaked hair, tatoos and a nose ring wearing a lace shirt and a contemplative expression. I chose to paint her using a similar mix of old-fashioned and contemporary techniques: acrylic painting, digital photography, collage and potato printing. I also liked mixing Renaissance-like lighting, impressionist brushwork for the shirt, and modern urban flair in the background and color choices.
The original mixed media painting is ready to hang on reinforced canvas and is 24" by 30." It is currently
still available.
