Crazy 4 Cult:4

Here's my contribution to Crazy 4 Cult:

.

Name:.....The Sunflower Lady and the Wild Daisy Boy

Size:........13"x19"(without frame)

...............21"x25.5"(framed)

Medium:..Watercolor

Cult film:..Harold and Maude

.

I was inspired by this dialogue between Harold and Maude:

.

Maude: I should like to change into a sunflower most of all. They're so tall and simple. What flower would you like to be?

Harold: I don't know. One of these, maybe.

Maude: Why do you say that?

Harold: Because they're all alike.

Maude: Oooh, but they're *not*. Look. See, some are smaller, some are fatter, some grow to the left, some to the right, some even have lost some petals. All *kinds* of observable differences. You see, Harold, I feel that much of the world's sorrow comes from people who are *this*,[she points to a daisy]

Maude: yet allow themselves be treated as *that*.[she gestures to a field of daisies]

.

It's a pleasure to be part of the Crazy 4 Cult show presented by Gallery 1988 LA

I'm contributing three 2.5" by 3.5" original paintings done in ink and watercolor on watercolor paper to the Ripple project. (My contributions are #641,642,643)

The Ripple project is created by the amazing illustrator Kelly Light to help out the animal victims of the Gulf Oil Spill.

.

Here's how the Ripple project works:

"Each sketchcard on this blog is $10.00. The $10.00 is a donation to help the animal victims of the Deep Water Horizon Gulf Oil Spill. Every penny is donated. The two Non-Profits that are benefitting are The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies and The International Bird Rescue Research Center. You can purchase a card if you donate directly to one of the non-profits and email me the confirmation and your address to ripplesketches@verizon.net. The artist will mail you the signed card. We don't have to feel helpless. We can help. Our small actions together will ripple outward. "---Kelly

After I finished the Decorate piece, I was wondering what it would look like if I rendered it in the same fashion as an antique photograph. I did this out of pure curiosity, ends up being a nice experiment. : )
