Description This is the fourth painting in the Rubber People series. Camile is ... what can I say, Tangled up in blue I think she is in love with Bob Dylan. She must have known Warhol. After peeling down the entire onion of Karen Ann Jones, what I found was Karen the painter. The same person I was when I was 5. I never changed, I only left who I was for a while. I paint because that is who I am. Being my most authentic me is my true integrity. My goal in my work is to express my optimistic, happy, in love with life, quirky, deep, intimate and passionate perspective of life. I choose my painting by recreating a visual of the feelings I am havening at that moment. I get to spend personal time with that passionate feeling that I long to experience. This is probably why I dont paint a painting in one day. I want to linger in that relationship.
