Narrative: I feel that because I am working with this illustrational bent, I get to tell a little back story. I don’t think I often have full narratives when I work on something, usually its more fleeting moods. In this piece I am thinking of Mrs. Ludin, who is someone I am making up, she is a fictional patron of the arts who has commissioned me to paint her portrait. She has made the appointment through my gallery (fictional again) “Olaf-Scar & Norgren”. It’s my job to go and capture Mrs. Ludin’s likeness and I ask her to stand in the sun next to her Marden painting.
