I have so much to say about this painting. First of all, I wish you could see her in person because again, my photograph does not fully capture the details. I was definitely inspired by some Frida Kahlo paintings as well as vintage fashion photography. Love Pinterest! I wanted to bring together my love of flowers, with textiles, and fashion. People often ask me who the women are in my paintings. I have no idea~they just evolve but all look a bit similar I think. Going forward I plan on doing more work that reflects my Italian heritage. This painting is 20x24 painted on a cradled birch wood panel. The sides are painted to match therefore it can be left unframed if desired. Thank you for looking. Catherine
