A Universal Feeling
Here’s a sketch of a young woman I intend to do an oil painting of in a few weeks, when my hands, sore from arthritis, are in better shape for hard work. (Hopefully after steroid shots into the wrists.) She’s a dancer, partner of the red-headed, bearded man I drew a few weeks ago who currently heads the group, Austin Ecstatic Rhythms. What interests me is the sulky, angry look on her face, an expression that immediately made me want to paint her because of what it says: FUCK OFF BITCH — a feeling universal to all of us at one time or another. Recognize it?
