Woman in Red

Woman in Red,  is made with oil on canvas. Ready to hang, no framing required. All supports supplied.

The subject wears a dark red dress with a black scarf edged with gold. The hair is cut short and modern She wears gold earrings. Around the neck is a black and white necklace. The eyes give the subject a sad air. The skin is painted in warm tones. The painting is roughly rendered with all brushwork showing.

I was reading a book about Ancient times and portraiture. I became fascinated with the possibility of a modern up-to-date treatment and interpretation of a these faces. I started with the idea to build an Cubist painting. As this would give a contemporary feeling to the finished painting. This piece is designed to induce the viewer inward towards feelings rather than intellect.
