About the Painting:

In a series full of dark, twisted, and complicated plots, it
was a fun relief to do this whimsical painting based on
the Taming of the Shrew.

This piece is a fun interpretation of the transformation of
Katherine.  I wanted to play with the attitude aspect, so
I exaggerated (...just a little!)  Kate on the left is snooty,
haughty and has her arms crossed to communicate her
closed nature and her attitude that, “I won’t budge an
inch!”  Kate on the right is a comical transformation into
the bride, depicted as gentle and subservient. The two
Kates are standing on the hand of her suitor and
transformer, Petruchio.
