LA ROUSSE (The Red Head) – 15” X 19” – Acrylic and Mixed Media on Wood
Allow me to reintroduce this character I began painting over twenty years ago. I’ve named her Gisèle. This time, I brought her to life again, imagining she would appreciate being displayed within this frame that once belonged to my in-laws, the Bunker family from New Brunswick. As the family wished to part with it, I thought it fitting to honour it with one of my favorite muses.
Take note, between the layers of paint are newspaper clippings from 1949, found in the walls of an old Montreal triplex, along with a piece of fabric in memory of my mother-in-law, Diane Bunker.
