Media: oil on panel, unframed
Size: 6x6 in
Today's painting is titled "Tagged" because the graffiti behind the lady is what I understand to be tags, basically, the 'signature' of the person who wrote it there. I have never cared for this kind of graffiti. Much of it looks the same, slap dash and not well thought out. However, when wandering around Prague on Street View yesterday, I noticed more graffiti on the walls than seemed normal, at least than where I am from. It is literally everywhere... I was intrigued by this lady, probably walking home from shopping, with the graffiti covered wall behind her. I almost titled the painting, "Turning a Blind Eye" because it seemed to me that perhaps she has walked down this street her whole life, but it wasn't always riddled with graffiti. Now it is, and she has to walk by it everyday.... So she turns a blind eye.... Anyway, who knows. That's what I love about painting.... the stories they tell. I also loved the amazing colors and composition of this image...
