This painting was originally inspired by the back of the Bangles' Different Light album That's an attempt at a charcoal and chalk pastel Susanna Hoffs. At least her spirit is there if not exactly her likeness. I put it away for months and then I took it out again after listening to Daron Malakian on Rick Rubin's podcast and it became Lost in Hollywood. Â
It then started mirroring an early draft of Eden, pictured below.Â
It's still very much in progress.
