Norma
Jeane Baker Reflects on Her Future 2007 by
Paul Noonan
Pencil
and wash on card
Detail
of Norma Jeane Baker
The picture
takes it's title from the fact that Norma Jeane is looking in a
mirror. What you are seeing is her reflection. Her eyes are so fixed
on her own eyes that she is oblivious to anything else around her.
Norma Jeane's
character was erased and redrawn as the watercolour wash I originally
laid was too weak and needed more colour. I wanted a warm healthy
skin tone for her that could contrast with the pale ghost of Marilyn
Monroe.
