art that night at the art market where I was working, and when I heard the news of Prince’s death, I felt compelled to create a Prince piece. I did the pastel work while listening to “Purple Rain,” and added the lettering later. I included the lyrics to “When Doves Cry,” highlighting key lyrics to give them a little more impact. The words read from the bottom up, in order to flow into the dove flying up into the sky.
here are some progress pictures

One year later I did a limited print run of this all purple version.
