#rainbow portrait

[contremineur]

the Rainbow Portrait of Elizabeth I a tamed snake dotted with gems adorned your sleeve; the ruffled collar without pigment matched your ceruse-painted skin; then a celestial crown, delicate wings, a ruby pendant. but the dress was the trap: draped around you like a quilt, the hue of your hair, and alive. you had a face like a poker player & your gown befitted the mistress of spies; enough eyes & ears to survive sixty years. heart and belly of a woman contained in citrus silk; a gauzy cape below your shoulders showing ethereal credentials; heartseases on your bodice like girlhood peering out.

Imogen Wade, Non sine sole iris

The poem's title (and the painting's inscription) is Latin, translatable as 'No rainbow without the sun'

Chiyo (2024)

This unique kitty is Chiyo (@chiyopurrs )! She is a brown tabby and white cat with a very unique piebald marking pattern. I found her account a few months ago and fell in love with her unique style. Then I had the honor of creating her portrait in my signature vibrant colorful style! Her portrait was painted with acrylics on an 8x10 inch stretched canvas.

Junior (2024)

A colorful pet portrait of a brown tabby cat named Junior in bright rainbow colors. In the original reference photo, he was laying on a white sheepskin blanket. I changed it up a bit and decided to make it look like he was sleeping on multicolored clouds! Acrylics on 12" x 16" stretched canvas.
