This pastel painting was created from a photo I took during a serendipitous meeting. I had moved from California to Japan and was learning to use pastels at a small art school in Yokohama. As I sat in church one Sunday morning, thinking about what I would paint the next day, I saw this beautiful women in her colorful dress and asked if I could take her photo to use as a reference in my work. She agreed to the photo and told me she lived in Nigeria and was attending a conference in Yokohama. We exchanged information and that’s when I found out her name was Lady.
This piece was on display at the 480 Lighthouse Gallery. It’s now in my home studio in Oakhurst, CA.
