This large oil painting is smaller than the other massive in scale works. Fitting for the intimately cropped face. Globe like eyes of vulnerability, show off her slightly parted lips. Lips were painted with flaming red color and smeared for suggestion.

With this particular oil painting, I focused on the luscious quality of texture with in the flesh. Painting each swathe with chunks of half dry paint and large stiff brushes to get the lunar surface like effect. From a few feet away all that seemlessly blends together to emerge an illusion of her face. The expression in the eyes and the movement of the hair are meant to be still and dynamic in contrast.
