Fanciful Shakespeare

© Artist Gina Jrel, 2009

About the Painting:

If you are local to Southern Utah, you may remember
an editorial illustration I did for the Spectrum Newspaper
a few years back called “Patriotic Shakespeare.” It was
a fun, stylized portrait of Shakespeare, decked out in
stars and stripes, that advertised his play “1776.”

While researching this show, I stumbled across the old
illustration.  I liked the style and line work of the piece,
needed a break from the dark and tragic, and thought
it might be fun to include a portrait of the man himself!  
So I re-worked the sketch into a more formal, less play-
specific painting as kind of a wacky, tribute piece.
