Sydney No. 1 " About Last Night"

  Sydney No. 1 Inspired by Sydney Sadik by Kate Joiner 9" x 12" acrylic, mixed media on wood. "About Last Night" was painted as reprieve  after a long day working on a very tedious piece that was forcing me to paint intricate details which are so "blah" me.  So that night I did a painting for me. Not worrying about the outcome. I am happiest when painting free flowing figures and not having to fixing all the small details , letting the mood and expression be defined by the paint.  This piece was painted on wood, with a background of very deep blue color with a  teensy little sparkle that can be seen under the right lighting.  the bold loose colors add a contrast and vibrancy and hyper tension that  may resonate with some of us during Covid. What I love most about this piece is that the door is so prominent and the mask is barley visible, almost as an after thought, the new norm.
