Drawing for Normal, OK: Tishomingo Yale, ink on paper, 2007. Click image to view source.
Tishimingo "Mingo" Yale teaches pilates. On weekends, weather permitting, she has a roadside fish fry stand. Bass fishermen stop there on their way back from Lake Goodnight. Mingo came to fitness instruction in her mid-forties, after years of wearing high-heeled shoes had all but ruined her spine. At the urging of her chiropractor, Mingo took up yoga. The improvements in her health were so significant she decided she must help bring this lifestyle to others.
The final painting, which you can see here, was created using the acrylic gel transfer process detailed here and here.
You can see Mingo in person at Legacy Bank in Edmond through January 2010.
