untitled...more than a study but a real small one...16" x 21". Glass paint, silverstain.
Originally, the crouching figure was to be chopped up and used as scraps in "Self Portrait of Someone Else" but I couldn't bring myself to do that (and I had enough material already anyway).

I love that it says "superben" above her head. Too bad my name isn't Ben.
that's some bit of something that I ran through a latin translating engine online...
I can't remember what it is SUPPOSED to say, actually something about light and dark....
so feel free to play fast and loose with interpretions!
O she's much too beautiful too be chopped up. Better an eternity of winter in a sundress than being chopped up. Maybe Superben is her lover and she's waiting for him in his favourite frock, the one she made herself, in spite of the weather and the gothic horror of the trees in the gathering gloom. She got so terrified that she threw her shoes at a passing fox, thinking it was a wolf. But she missed the fox and the shoes landed in a murky pool.
For some odd reason, the tiny pieces of red and blue make me feel very happy. Perhaps they mean she hasn't been stood up for ever.
I dig the color usage in this piece!
