Today I prepped and framed my
Keith Haring painting for an upcoming show. I was in a rush and wish now I would have floated it on a black mat instead of a white one, but it's done. The opening is next Thursday at the
Center. I came up with the above image by taking a quarter of the painting and messing with it in photoshop.
"All Dressed Up" is a painting of Keith Haring when he was 10 years old. The photograph that I used for the painting really caught my eye, made me smile. At some point every kid gets dressed up. It's never comfortable, but one always felt special. I'm not sure why he was dressed up on this particular day, but the emotions in his face and his stance evoked memories of my own life as a kid when I got to dress up for a special day.
