Liz Goldwyn was kind enough to pose for me in authentic 70s clothing from The Way We Wore on La Brea. (Not only is she luminous but also author of the magnificent book, Pretty Things)

I’m gathering old magazines from the 70s

collecting textiles and hanging them all over the studio

looking at 70s fashion on ebay…

raiding all the old family photo albums

(the artist at eight!)
It means making gouaches to work out palettes and compositions for the oil paintings.
