Back in 2003, during one of my bouts with occasional insomnia, I whipped up this painting in the early morning hours before sunrise. It only took about an hour or two to complete and it was a lot of fun to work on. I slathered and swirled some thick purple acrylic paint to create her curly hair and although it's hard to tell from the photo, her hair has a somewhat bumpy texture. I've always loved when artists use heavy paint and palette knives to create texture on the canvas. It makes me want to feel the painting. :o)
