Day 8 - Yayoi Kusama

So, this is a bit of a diversion from what I have been painting.. but it is still technically figurative.  More portraiture, but... that's ok.  I discovered this artist last week sometime while searching unrelated things on the net.  I was so struck by her story, her age, that she is still alive and creating artwork... that I was completely moved to make a painting of her!  Please look her up, if for no other reason than to read about a contemporary female artist who has lived a unique and amazing life.  I hope my portrait does her justice!
