the 40 year old version in false color, "As seen on TV Series"

This image was taken from the movie of the same name, which deals with a black woman who, stymied in her career as a playwright teacher, wants to become a rapper. It is funny, poignant and sad, in equal portions. It's also shot in black and white, which gave me the chance to colorize it. Fun!

Now that you've seen the painting, one more of my attempts to refictionalize fiction, go watch the movie! Probably can find it on Netflix. Let me know what you think!
