This past fall, I was invited to participate in t(HERE) Magazine's 1 Day of Art, LA. They travel internationally, inviting local artists to create a work of art in 24 hours. We met on the roof of a building in downtown LA, chose a random topic (mine was "portrait!"), and were instructed to meet again 24 hours later. I found the whole process incredibly stressful and challenging...especially because it usually takes me a year to finish a painting. I holed up overnight in a Venice motel, and these are the results. Many, many, MANY times throughout the night, I thought about just quitting and driving home. We were also interviewed before and after - which I also found really stressful. I find it difficult - explaining my paintings and process. It was an eye-opening experience - so glad I did it!
