graffiti girl by Melchia Kutches

This is a piece I painted on plywood.  I enjoy working with plywood very much.  And having dabbled in graffiti throughout my lifetime, I wanted a piece for my home.  I first painted the background color using household exterior paint.  Then spraypainted a word that came to me.  In this case, it is \"futurist\".  Later, I painted, in acrylics, the girl en pose over it.  That was influenced by art I had seen on Instagram. I also added some tags in marker, including the one I used when living in NYC.  Over time, I have added a few stickers to give it more of that street look.  This piece is intended to lean, and does so, on a wall.  It is in my home and not for sale.

This piece has #11.5 \"Cherry Blossoms\" painted on the back.
