Christina

Oil on Board, 7 " x 9.5 ", SOLD

I have been working on this image over a series of

years, actually, and am glad to have finally resolved

it. The contrast of her almost-black hair against the

turqoise background is something that has always

obsessed me, but I couldn't rectify the colors in her

face with the rest of the painting. I finally decided to

just "go with the flow", and I'm pretty happy with the

results, which aren't really true to life due to my

camera. Her face is really more colorful than this.
