Ivory Flame 2

Wow, thought one of the Old Masters had come back from the dead to produce this. Love that flaming hair.

The contrast of her pale complexion against that flame red hair is wonderful.

I agree with Carole, a real look of the old masters here. Beautiful and evocative portrait. I do so love the hair.

Thanks for your comments. The painting is all about the hair and it's the first time that I've tried to reproduce red hair. Her skin is actually almost pure white but the lighting doesn't show that. One for the future I think.

Alan, this is so restrained, yet so dramatic, I think it is stunning!

Thanks Ruth. You're comments are always welcome :)

Wonderful - gorgeous hair.

Very similar Michael. :)
