It is wellknow that most times a flash kills more than it adds to a photo. This picture was a great example for that.

The picture I used was flashed straight in the face, resulting in this lady in a uniformlike costume without an expression. Her face plain white like a mask.

Giving me the oppertunity to play around with a shitload of white paint. But on second hand, I think I should take it easy with the titaniumoxide.

With the other paintings to not overdo it.
While painting after an old portrait I bought on a fleamarket in Berlin I noticed the similarity with a friend called Eline. It’s not like two drops of water but nevertheless the idea got into my head and I decided it could stay.
-
No need to find another name for the painting if one has grown onto one is it? Maybe I’ll call this one ‘Old old Eline’. Than Eline can decide for herself wether she identifies with it or not.

I don’t know what more to tell about this picture so it’s best to leave it to this.
