This is one of many portraits I made of my brother Michael. It is a double portrait of Mike and me. I began two portraits with free-form curves and lines, inspired by Miró’s Constellation Series, a remarkable set of seemingly free-form works, filled with icons and fantastic creatures. I included ovals for two faces and the icons I developed for my brother and me. Since music was an integral part of my childhood, I used the outline of a violin as a bridge. Mike hummed music as a child.
A print of this watercolor is available on my Etsy shop: AutismInspiredArt.
