Original artwork description:

This amazing drag queen ruled Strawberry Fair for a day. Lots of technical challenges here from the texture of the makeup to the intricacy of the patterned tights. The skin tone is done with a limited pallet and then I went a little wilder for the rest of the canvas.

I’ve never been sure where this extraordinary tribe go when festival season ends, perhaps they migrate with the swifts but I’ve always had an itch to paint then. This series of paintings are a love story to the people that would still go shopping in a princess dress long after their eighth birthdays. Using a very limited and traditional palette to produce skin tones, then freeing as many other saturated colours like Magenta and Cobalt Turquoise to express the sense of freedom of dressing up in the sunshine with the rest of their Strawberry tribe.
