My painting is similar to this one, but it wasn't meant to be...exactly. Malissa chose this pose, I painted it. But, years ago when I decided I was done painting Planets and Outer Space, I really liked the work of John Waterhouse. I was wanting to do something similar to his work, but with more emphasis on the landscape. It's not just the women I paint, but the landscape too. People often comment that they know the place I painted. They often comment that they know who the model is too, which is neat. I know I'm getting both right. When it's all said and done, I want to be know as a Kentucky Painter. That's why I try to get a good likeness on both the Kentucky Landscape as well as these good Kentucky Women.
