I have just recently bought myself oil paints and can’t wait to use them. I already have a canvas (30x48 inches) that I intent to use for a portrait of Lady Gaga. I want to paint Gaga simply because she is an amazing and inspirational person. Her recent album ‘Born This Way’ has been particularly inspirational.

It has made me understand that although I want to be accepted I can’t expect others to change in order to accept me. Although it can be very frustrating when people are openly against whom I am and what I stand for, they were ‘Born That Way’.
The painting is going to show Gaga in the dress she wore to the 2010 VMAS, which was designed by Alexander McQueen.

I intend to incorporate as many symbols as possible to represent as many groups and types of people as possible. The symbols are going to convey equality and the idea of ‘live and let live’. It will also be a reminder for me to always be the best that I can be and to never give up on my ideas just like Gaga.
Now that I have started the painting I will post my progress with it from the initial sketch to completion. Below are pictures of my initial outline sketch on the canvas.
