"Untitled"

1995 -1998. 18" x 18 1/2". Oil pastels on paper.
This piece was inspired by my own bad teeth... granted they are not this bad, but i have always had problems with them no matter how much i brush or floss... it is just the "hand " i was dealt. So i exaggerated the situation considerably and worked on the piece for almost 3 years. i love the contrast between the horrific image and the rich colors.
