Mother Gus
original watercolor, 16 x 22
This was painted from a photograph of somebody
else's relative. The somebody else was named Gus, and I always took
liberties with the name and referred to this painting as Mother
Goose, but what sense would that make to anybody else? Mother Gus
at least has a ring of some kind of probability to it. It was a
black and white photograph with dramatic, almost spooky shadows,
and it was fun to use a lot of subtle colors to make the white of
her dress.
