A photograph of artist Klaire Lockheart, suffering from a mild case of bouffant, reaches forward with her right hand to apply a wee bit of shadow using a paintbrush dabbed with black oil paint to a large canvas of multiple luxuriating dudes.

It doesn’t feel like I’m being defiant, but apparently my belief that women are people and should be included in the art world is a little too radical for some institutions. Oh well. I’m going to keep painting.

This wide-angle photograph depicts artist Klaire Lockheart in red plaid squeezing a tube of cadmium red paint while preparing her palette within her art studio, which is full of dramatic oils paintings of reclining brodalisques.

Red is one of my favorite colors. What’s one of yours?

I need to mix up a range of orange paints before I can resume painting these animal print suits.

Wearing a green apron with a complementary colored shirt, artist Klaire Lockheart gestures with both arms toward a 5’ tall canvas of a partially completed oil painting of a pair of dudes in animal print suits.

Am I showing off my progress on this massive brodalisque painting or am I documenting my decent into madness?

Contemporary artist Klaire Lockheart poses like a like Big Boy fiberglass statue to show off the first layer of opaque paint on a figure painting of two dudes in animal print suits.

This painting is frustrating, but I can’t stay mad because it cracks me up! Are you working on anything funny too?
