DescriptionPortrait of Leeza is an abstract painting of an imaginary personin deep violet with golden flares. From my series Facing Abstraction, the originalpainting was acrylic on paper. This series was created quickly, mostly with palette knives. Brushes were used sparingly for finishing touches and to bring the faces into stronger focus. Leeza is from the same 'family' as Paula, meaning they were created together from the same paints, tools, and artistic disposition. The orignal image was painted in a small 5x7' greeting card format, then digitally scanned for larger format prints.
