Seated Lady

Medium: Gouache on Coloured Matboard
Image Size: 11" x 14"

This painting was an experiment.  I wanted to see if I could get a feeling of carved stone by painting in black and white on a marble-printed mat board background.  A companion piece to this, "Lady in the Tower" won an Honourable Mention in a juried art show in 1998.  One of my older pieces, the two paintings are the closest I've ever come to doing self-portraits.  The gown was designed for a theatre production, "The Lady's Not For Burning", by Christopher Fry, in which I played the part of Jennett.
