Starry Eyes
by Kaysha Siemens
Another of my invented portraits, inspired by the charming painterly sensibilities of early photography.
Astute followers will notice that this is not a fully new piece: I painted her late last year, but was never quite satisfied with her. It turns out I’m very glad she hasn’t already found a home, because I finally just recently I figured out what was niggling at me (sometimes we artists are slow to notice things about our work that our audience doubtless perceives immediately!), which is that her nose was a perfectly lovely nose, but not painted at quite the right angle for her face. (Plain as the nose on her face, I can hear you all say!)
A few alterations and additions later (even MORE stars! One can never have too many stars), and here she is with a sparkly glow-up. I love her slightly impish expression, like she has a secret, or is making secret plans. I hope one of you loves her as much as I do!
Oil on panel, 4×6 inches. Outer dimensions of the frame are 10 1/2 x 12 1/2 inches.

My goal is the object of beauty, but that goal is achieved through engagement in process, and neither aim is worthwhile without meaning and intention. I seek to talk about the ordinary with the language of story, to arrest with exquisite imagery, and ultimately to leave viewers with a feeling, a lingering sense, that they have had a brush with the sublime.
