The Botany Of Beauty




SOLD
This is a life sized female mannequin. It is hand painted, signed, and dated by the artist. It was created in July, 2006. It never has been, or will be reproduced. Done in shimmering metallic pinks, golds, and magentas, this piece adds a touch of femininty and a splash of nature to any space. The delicate green vines drape down her figure. Ripples of red, orange, and white accentuate her curving form. The bold tears and folds combined with the dainty pinks and soft greens give this piece a sense of growth and evolution. The allusion to the "messy" internal physical layout of her body versus the beautiful, composed exterior will give any room loads of character. A dazzling fleur-di-lis done with crushed mica, metallic acrylics, and vibrant fuschia adorns her right thigh. This piece of artwork seems to shimmer and shift colors according to the lighting. It is meticulously done in layers of washes and glazes to give it depth and personality...a nice addition to any collection!
