Artist statement draft 2

For concentration I have decided to select "True Colors" which is a series that shows people important to me as they are and not what you see. I found by studying each subject up close and personal, each has something very unique and characteristic about them. The close constant study allows me to capture each individuals' beauty in a true painterly flowing format. Each is unique but each has a strong tie to each other making it the ideal concentration. I first became interested when taking a phtotgraph of a friend and the way the lighting hit, she had several different tones.
