This French inspired painting was commissioned for a women's dressing room in Raleigh, NC. It was installed in a mauve painted room with cream upholstered furniture and dark mahogany tables. My inspiration was a combination of carved antique French beds I slept in when growing up AND how a love note left in a pocket appears after having been washed along with the clothing. 3ftX5ft

Very, very nice Tina. It immediately paints the image of a treasured moment falling into an abyss. There's seems to be a distinct aurora of sadness about it....leaving you to wonder the fate of the two lovers.
perfect for its surroundings!
Thank you Alan. The two lovers, I'll have to write a book about that one day. You are so wonderful, thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Self Taught - I hope the weather will soon turn for you to get some things done. I will check in soon. Thanks as well for your comment!
How fascinating!
I really like how you describe the setting it's going to be seen in.
Thanks also for your comment on my success in getting into the SBA exhibition.
Thanks, Katherine! And continued best wishes to you!
Beautiful large paintings on this blog! Love it.
I also enjoy the pencil drawings...good work.
Thank you, Dean, so much for stopping by and taking time to comment!
This is so cool!
Fanky Angela!
love the inspiration!
I love the idea of the love note.....
Yes, I can see the fibers that tore unfolding the washed note. Isn't it even more precious as an artifact that is mostly only in memory? The script is now encrypted, and secret for all time. A palimpsest.
Wow! just love this abstract!
Lovely!
