Thirty Paintings in 30 Days - Day Fourteen

"It's All Black and White"
Abstract, 36' x 36"
Inspired by Project Runway, Season 8, Finale, Mondo Guerra design

The finale of Season 8 Project Runway was quite a battle between Mondo Guerra and Gretchen Jones. I honestly thought the win was a slam dunk for Mondo when this black and white dress came down the runway. Heidi Klum loved Mondo, especially his polka dot dress. She and Jessica Simpson fought for him. Michael Kors and Nina Garcia fought for Gretchen Jones and her commercial collection. Personally I thought Gretchen's designs were boring!

I was shocked when Gretchen won because I always assumed PR was Heidi's show and Heidi would have the final say! I was so wrong.

Fortunately I get the final say on the design of my paintings. I really like this one. And as you can see it really was inspired by this awesome dress!

I love the boldness and strength of this painting, especially with the thick, creamy paint and, like you, I also love the dress. Thank you for yet another great '30 in 30' challenge, Leslie; you're definitely making me create more art!
