About the Item
Artist Comments
This is a painting of my best friend, Jessy. In real life, I had painted her face with white paint, and dressed her up for fun and to take photographs. I loved how the original photo of this turned out, so I made a painting of it. My favorite part is the actual build up and texture of the white face paint on her. This piece was quite different for me, as I usually NEVER paint in flesh tones. I wanted to challenge myself, and step out of my comfort zone, and I'm so glad that I did.

- Champagne for the HoneymoonBy Pruett Alexander CarterLocated in Miami, FLPruett Carter captures the quintessential look of the 1950's in this loosely rendered but charming work for Redbook. Bright, punchy colors define each object and are arranged in a simplified but complex composition of intersecting and overlapping planes of color. The double portrait of the girl expresses a peak moment of introspection. She ponders her situation while preparing to get dressed for her special occasion. The whole scene is imbued with suspense about her future. Carter is a great academic painter. With just a few light touches of the brush, he quickly defines the form of the subject and achieves the X factor of the work. The profile and frontal view of the girl clearly are the same person. He nails her look. This is hard to do. Do not underestimate it. Sadly, there is a reason why there are very few contemporary artists can actually paint and draw without tracing photographs or resort to naive painting. It's hard to do. It's hard to be a painter. You can not fake...Category
