Pink BikiniDakota

There is a detail in her face that I saw before I saw anything else, and for a while it was the only thing I could see.

This is also one of the largest canvases I have made, which matters more than it sounds. At full size the angle does something to you that a photograph of it cannot. You have to be in front of it.

What do you do with it?

Inspired by a photograph of Dakota James.

Buying it is the easy part

The photograph this came from was made to be scrolled past. It got three seconds, if that. This canvas took weeks, and it will hang on a wall for years and be seen every day.

Ordering it takes a minute. Deciding where it goes is the part that takes nerve, because everyone who walks into that room will see it and think something. That part is yours.
