From Hullo dated a few months before. I get fed up of reportage. Sometimes you just want to paint something because it looks nice. The fashion photo of Naomi was so perfect, so sleek, the dress so beautifully draped that, it had to be painted. This is a case where the painter is unworthy of mention and perhaps should not tamper with the original. The photographer is the superior creator but he had to have the right material. The dress designer has to be the best of the three and what about the model as artist. She had to know how to hang the clothes on her body for them to look so perfect. That is teamwork. The onlooker can only appreciate and enjoy such a creation which I did in painting it.
