hello vanessa, i came across your journal recently and i must say that it's very interesting, you work is amazing. & this particular piece is really beautiful. i was wondering... how soon after your work is finished do you photograph it? as blood fades to a darkish brown quite quickly.
It's nice of you to say Bonny. There's a trick I discovered last September -- adding acrylic medium seals in the blood's red color. With these pictures posted today, I photographed them 9 or 10 days later.
Wow--accidentally stumbled across your journal and I just adore these paintings--this one in particular because it makes me laugh--it's like she's landing so lightly despite her swirly girth:) I would love to add you as a friend if you don't mind.The idea of painting with such a personal, symbolic medium inspires me and makes me reconsider my own relationship to my blood.

I like hearing people's favorites (and least favorites too).

I don't mind if you wish to add this journal to your list.
I'm very pleased hearing your reaction. Do you mind if I ask you how old you are?
