Buick

 I told Marz I wasn't sure I could handle painting my mother, it made me feel so heavy, and she said, why don't you paint her things?


  
1956 Buick, lipstick (orangey), Marlboro cigarettes

    Thanks, Laura.

    Z: It does call for a certain kind of bravery, I admit, dredging up some of this history, since, as you know, some difficult emotions come up with it.

    As much as I'm digging all of your watercolor paintings this one's really a favorite. The colors: orangey, light blue, white, black, red! are what I always want to look at. And the lipstick is just right. (Factoid: In the cosmetic world lipstick testers are called bullets.)

    POODLE: I did think, as I painted this, that the tube looked a lot like a bullet, but I had no idea the testers are actually called that! Perfect.
    I'm glad you like the colors here: I do too.
