Soft Heel

FREE INSURED SHIPPING WITHIN THE U.S

In wrestling, a heel is the villain. A soft heel is the one you can tell is hiding something gentler.

A young woman in a red-and-white mask tips her head down and looks out through the eye hole, her gaze heavy with smudged liner and quiet focus. The mask is painted in bold, loose strokes of crimson and chalky white, with a small heart pinned to the brow that undercuts the swagger. Below it, her face is soft and carefully modeled in warm gray and cream, with a shadow falling across the jaw and a faint red line of lip.

The contrast is the point: a loud, theatrical costume worn by someone quiet, serious, and slightly vulnerable. The background stays hazy and cool, letting the red do the talking.

It’s a small painting with a lot of character and a touch of mischief.
