Janis!

 

I had an idea of trying a new approach to portrait painting by doing a splash background and then imposing the figure on it.  This is Janis Joplin, based on photo I got on the internet.  I made some changes because the photo was black and white and I wanted color.   I think I will try this process again.  I like the effect and it was fun to do it.  She seems too young here....but then she was too young when she died.
