Filed under: If Artist X painted Celebrity X
This is my vision of Shannen Doherty and her little dog if Picasso were to paint her, and is first in my series of "What if Important Artists of the 20th Century Were to Paint the Portraits of Today’s Tabloid Celebrities?" I’ve been planning this series for a while, but hadn’t considered painting Ms. Doherty until I received a timely and mysterious email from a reader who sent the image below along with the message, "Shannen Doherty/Picasso…remarkable!" Oh, how I love when synchronicity and coincidence occurs. Many thanks to Henway for the suggestion. If you’d like to create your own Picasso painting, go here. Medium: Acrylic and oil pastel on panel.

I would totally put that over my mantle! But then I’d secretly know it was Ms. Doherty and be grossed out.
Love it!
P.S. In all seriousness the colors and composition go together splendidly!

This is a first. When a cubist work actually represents an actress’s weird eyes perfectly. Well done, 14!

This too made me laugh out loud! I am actually shaking my head at your brilliance! I am also relieved that others have seen it too! Over the years I have puzzled at Ms. Doherty’s oddness but I thought it was just me!

I remember seeing an episode of 90210 when I was younger in which there was a scene with Brenda doing her hair/make up in a mirror — totally freaked me out!!
And now you’ve captured that moment beautifully. It’s like I’m reliving my adolescence.

Excellen interpretation … Picasso would be impressed. I am a docent at the Modern Art in Fort Worth, can I print it and share it with the office there?Shannon should be honored to have this hanging in her house. Though perhaps the middle finger should be the digit which is elongated!

How hilarious! I’ve been saying she has the most assymetrical face for years! When “Will and Grace” made a joke about it, I realized everyone knew. She just ain’t pretty!
