My understanding of the title, a balance of simplicity and complexity creating elegance. Jun, the model and composer that I painted here carries these qualities, as does his music.

In many ways this is Mel. But in so many ways it’s not. While on vacation, with a few days off from painting, I was itching to work. We sat down across from each other, Mel on the couch under a lamp and I just across from her on a living room chair, watercolor block on my lap. I was excited to get back to the materials and really had no interest in formal accuracy, nor the outcome. My focus was on feeling . . . the feeling of how the brush, loaded with pigment and water, goes down on the paper, the kolinsky hair spreading, releasing a pool of color. The forms that I ended up creating are Mel’s but so much of me is here too, sculpted into this portrait.

This week at Drink and Draw, we hosted Fatal Booty, roller derby doll from Yonkers NY.
Vasac, 7B, has the most beautiful light that encourages the most incredible and vivid colors.
These watercolor sketches are done in the spirit of the afternoon, casual and blurred by the drink specials.
