It is week 9 in the search for the Hilton Head Gang...the notorious members of Karin Jurick’s workshop. The trail is still hot...so we shall continue on. We are determined to feature one member each week until they are all accounted for.
Chris “the Moniker” Werst comes by her alias honestly. She misses nothing. At beaches, Galleries, tourist attractions...She retains everything. She is very proficient at finding out and remembering names of people, places and things. She uses this to her advantage. She will call your name and then act like she knows you...by the time you realize she is a stranger it is too late...you are digitally immortalized and destined to become canvas bound. Her whereabouts is totally unknown as she does not...at this writing...have a blog.
I am finally, FINALLY shaking the flu. Thank you for all your emails, and well wishes - I've missed you, too! Today, my first full day at the studio, I opened a box of 4x4 inch Gessobords and started to catch up with my Hilton Head Gang Mugshots. Now... this woman, Chris, is BEAUTIFUL! But it being a 'mugshot' I let her look tough, as she posed that way.
I am REALLY digging painting mug shots. I have to say I swore I would never enjoy it. Shows what I know.
Stay well, all!
