'Chrissy Up Close' Original painting of Chrissy Amphlett from The Divinyls by Lo Carmen. Lovers Dreamers Fighters series.
In 2022, my book 'Lovers Dreamers Fighters' was published by Harper Collins, described by Paul Kelly as 'a hard won account of the mess, glory and risk of making art. Lo tells her story by telling the stories of all those who've lit and tended her flame. She knows that worship is at the heart of creation. And she writes like a river.'
I wrote about Chrissy and how much I love her songs and have learned from her and been inspired by her.
Spending so much time researching, reflecting and thinking about all the wonderful artists I've been inspired by over the past couple of years, made me feel like painting some little portraits, so here they are... painted with love, by me.
Gouache on Canvas Board. Varnished. 5 x 7 inches. Unframed. (Framed images are mockups)

'We've all got them, the lighters of the way, those mythological wonders who glow in our dark. These are the ones I got to be close to, whether in a real or allusive sense; these are the ones that got to me in a way that still flows through my veins...' Lo Carmen
