It was a new experience painting Rachel. There was a completely different vibe with her. When I painted Ashley and Mickey I was making ridiculous faces, grunting and gasping with ecstasy, aggressively trying to penetrate the canvas with my brush, etc. This is sort of my usual way of painting unless I am working on a slower, layered mixed media piece. Rachel gave me a gentle, quiet feeling of peace and I painted her flesh softly. I don't know what it is about the meditation aspect and allowing the models to speak for themselves but this series is becoming more and more interesting!
