Original Portrait painting
Acrylic on canvas, 2021
18 W x 24 H x 1.5 D in

The painting features a portrait of a woman wearing a large hat and holding a small dog in her arms. The woman is rendered in black and white, with intricate details capturing the folds of her clothing and the texture of her hat. She gazes directly at the viewer, her expression calm and composed, and her hand holding the dog gently and affectionately.

The dog, also in black and white, is small and fluffy, nestled comfortably in the woman’s arms. The details of its fur are captured with precision and delicacy, making it appear almost lifelike.

The background of the painting is predominantly in shades of purple, with splashes of bright pink adding a playful and vibrant touch. The background’s abstract forms and swirling patterns create a sense of movement and energy, while also highlighting the woman’s stillness and serenity and canine companion.

This painting is a striking combination of realism and abstraction, with the black and white portraiture of the woman and her dog contrasting with the colorful and dynamic background. It captures a moment of quiet contemplation and companionship, evoking a sense of whimsy and joy through its bold use of color and form.
