Original Piece: Oil on Wood Panel, 2021
There is something cool about this painting for me. Both in the ‘cool’ colours of blue, but also the self-assured confidence of the subject. The willingness to be vulnerable and to be yourself and own it is, I think, what ‘being cool’ really means. The ones who do this are the trend setters who the crowd follow. The bare shoulders portray that vulnerability. I hope this painting can inspire others to lean into the things, passions, interests, and gifts within them that are trying to come out, to embrace them and share them with the world. To also be “cool”.
