I finished this oil on canvas last April just in time to hang it in a local coffee shop in Denver, CO. It took about 4 mths to complete. Lots of positive responses, although the shop owner thought it was a little too sexy for some. Oh well... I was trying to be experimental with my backgrounds. Going through a slight depressive period, so I wanted to use brighter colors to help my mood. It helps- I feel better when I look at it. I used a photo of a model friend and did my best to get a decent likeness. I love the challenge of mixing oils- rarely do I get exactly the same response from the paints in a session. Just part of the fun I guess...
