A woman looks up and slightly away, eyes heavy-lidded, lips parted in a muted rust-red. Her hair is a cloud of white-blonde curls, built from thick, looping strokes of cream, pearl, and pale green that stand off the surface and catch real light. One half of her face glows in soft peach and cream, while the other falls into deep olive shadow, giving the portrait its drama.

Around the curls, green washes gather at the corners, and the bottom of the canvas loosens into ochre drips over bare weave. The face is carefully modeled, the hair gloriously loose, and the contrast between the two is the whole pleasure of the painting.

It’s a vintage-feeling portrait with plenty of attitude and a lot of paint.
