Portrait of a Cadet

Hi friends - how are you arriving into this weekend?

I started today just wanting to play with color. No intention, no plan. Just cyber neon colours (albeit subdued) against black, something sharp to break the cold of this morning. But this face emerged - calm but piercing, a gaze you can't ignore. She isn't gentle, and I love her for that. I wasn't guided by any colours so it's a bit messy in terms of the rendering and colour blending.

There seems to be a lot going on.

There's something sacred about letting a woman take up visual space exactly as she is: bold, and unbothered. Maybe she's me. Maybe she's every woman who's ever been called "too much" and dared to agree. Wouldn't you agree?

Well enjoy the rest of the weekend! Take care and stay safe folks. 💙🖤💜

He he he not at all. This is artrage app. It has an oil brush that tries to emulate physical oil paint. It's awesome.

You should definitely give it a try plus the metallic paint can add cool effects.
