About this piece:
I painted Olivia more fluidly than any other painting out of this body of work. Normally I have to rework the colors a few times, but this one materialized from start to finish as I had originally envisioned it. The model I chose for this painting had lovely hair and I wanted to accentuate it by exaggerating it and focusing mostly on shapes and colors. I mixed ochre, my favorite and most used color, with the colors used to make the complementing colors of the background and the hair, softening the contrast between them.
