Two variations on Day of the Dead imagery, painted simultaneously, the one on the right from a classic Mexican folklore image of an upperclass woman skeleton in a fancy dress and flowered hat, called “La Catrina” in an illustration by Diego Rivera – this face was an idea that just occurred to me as I was painting the first girl. Part of the fun of painting two people at once is that they get to watch the process they are going through up close on the face of the other person. These two girls were fiends and excited about sharing the act of being transformed.
