Sometimes I paint to satisfy my need to render detailed, decorative elements. I love painting on Yupo because it is completely unforgiving: every brushstroke and mistake shows. I love it because the entire process is apparent. Instead of the viewer seeing merely the end result of many days of work, they can see the whole thing, from underpainting to final strokes.
Licensed images of this painting were used on the western slope of Colorado to raise funds for their domestic violence program.
