The Smoker
I seem to be having a bit of a creative streak (well I hope that's what it is :lol: ) . this may be a little to wild, but it was inspired by whiskey and wild wild women, but in my case no actual cigareets . I kind of hope you like it, but if not, thats okay too.
I mean I'm just pouring my heart out here :unsure: ;) .

LOVE this! Looks {to me} like Janis Joplin ..BIG TIME!! Strange..I was Just viewing some of her music videos yesterday..and her last interview three days before her passing. She was a Whiskey drinkin..Smokin {not just Tobacco!!} LOL! hard livin lady!!If you get a chance...check out some of her stuff on YouTube..sure you will see the resemblance!! Uncanny!!!!

GREAT job on this!! Wonderful energy and vibrant colors.

HMMM...so, you were inspired not by cigarettes...but maybe by wild women???? LOL!!

Love viewing your work!! Glad you are feeling better! :}

Janis was something else.

This could go either way for me . . . male or female . . . transgender, maybe.

Wild colors and textures.

Must have been some heavy-duty whiskey. :D

Happy painting,
Rita

Thanks Karen,
Yep! I'm feeling a lot better, and I agree this could be Janis, although the model in the original photo ref I used was actually very sweet looking, young and showed no signs of hard living (probably not even a real smoker :lol: ) of course I changed all that.
Wild women and whiskey (scotch) are still a big inspiration for me ;)

Thanks Rita,
I realized I had made her look a bit androgynous, but I thought that worked okay in this painting, as to the Whiskey it has to be scotch single malt, and at least fifteen years old :blink: :lol:

thanks Sena,
I'm glad you find it creative, I do try to keep things fresh.

Wild women? well at least formerly wild :lol:

"No more cigaretts , single malt scotch whiskey , and formerly wild wild women,
They drive you crazy they drive you insane"
just really bad song lyrics :lol: .
