Miss Flora is a painting from 2017. I liked a lot about this female painting, but I was not quite satisfied.
Sometimes it can be difficult to pinpoint what you dislike in a painting - especially in your own work, as it is closer to your heart. But it is better to stand back, and really try to analyze what bothers you, than showcase an artwork you are not happy with.
Now 2 years after, where Miss Flora has resided among other paintings in my studio, I have renewed the painting. I liked her face, hair and sensual clothing. So it had to be the background. Then I had to figure out what to do with that.
I decided for a much more dark colorscheme, with more complimentary colors. And a pattern at the bottom.
In my goal of painting a serie of exciting personalities, a bit out of the ordinary and with extreme hairstyles, I am now happy with this first lady. Miss Flora.
I still need a name for the serie, but painting more of these women, I think it will appear.
60x60 cm acrylic on canvas.
