Cyndi Style

My friend Cyndi recently turned 30! I decided I would make her a painting for her birthday, since she loves my work. I really can't go wrong here. If I smeared paint on anything, she would adore it. I asked her what she would like on it. She gave me a pretty solid list: writing from an old book, inside jokes, a picture of David Hasselhof, lilies (kinda monet style but modern), a textured flower. Since I have never commisioned work, I thought it would be a fun idea.












I glossed over these photocopies of inside jokes and old books and painted a background. Once the gloss dried, I wet it and rubbed away the paper pulp to make a clear film. Then I stuck them onto the painting.
