Kali’s Raiment

Kali's Raiment, Acrylic, Oil and Colored Pencil on Masonite, 24" x 48"

Acrylic, Oil and Col­ored Pen­cil on Hardboard

Cre­ated from a ses­sion with Adora Belle, the small­est and fun­ni­est model I’ve worked with to date, she’s a delight. It’s a mix­ture of Adora’s flesh and my paint. The most rep­re­sen­ta­tive work in the series so far it’s inspired me to do more dresses.
