Portrait of Julie
Oil on Hard­board The sec­ond layer of a Dys­pha­gia paint­ing, this por­trait of Julie no longer exists in this form. I sold the paint­ing before I had the oppor­tu­nity to pho­to­graph the final. It’s a thirty minute sketch but it cap­tures her essence. I do still have the strips of tape.

We would switch back and forth every five min­utes or so, pay­ing close atten­tion to inter­sec­tions an neg­a­tive space. It’s curi­ous how …
