Back to Benozzo: the Journey Continues

After a few months of still-life practice, fantasy has swept me up again. Bought a big, sturdy canvas last week. I figure it's finally time to get this painting out of my system! It's a reimagining of my old muse, Benozzo Gozzoli's Procession of the Magi. Had it in my head for a long time. What I'm aiming for is something complex, kitschy, something that melds my apartment, my frustrations and a sense of 'process' with the fantastic landscape inside my head.



"Say, Kitty- what are your thoughts about this new project?"

On the left, me. On the right, a Medici fellow on his noble steed by Gozzoli.
