Not For Sale
Bold, abstract portrait of a woman with intense, mysterious gaze that you can feel is connecting with you. This painting has rich, vibrant Fauve colors, including both warm and cool blue, purple, pink, violet, green and other colors.
It is a very striking painting/drawing. The ink line drawing is spontaneous and raw and very expressive. The acrylic paint is bright and vibrant and gives the painting texture. The heavy weight paper shows through in many places providing additional texture and interest.
