ART TODAY 07.21.17: Elise by Molly (Moollz) Kirschenbaum – “The body is only a physical house in which we live”

I had some left-over sketches of female forms from workshops past, and again decided to use this one to represent a real person. As the body is only a physical house in which we live, I found that painting a person, for me, comes down to the colors and shapes that resonate with them. So while the body is just a random one, these colors represent a childhood friend of mine whom I love with all my heart!
