SOLD

This painting was inspired by a couple of drawings I recently discovered in an old portfolio tucked away in my mother's attic. I brought them back to my studio, thinking they would add a graphic element to a piece I’d been working on for several weeks. The colors in the painting were all centered around water, and once I incorporated these two drawings, everything just clicked. I extended the legs on the top figure and was contemplating my next move when a fellow artist from down the hall walked into my studio and immediately said she wanted to buy it! It now hangs in her living room, overlooking a lagoon—the perfect setting!
