This is an oil painting I almost finished in 2008. It had some technique issues, I considered giving up on it and did not work on it again for ten years until this past June 2020. I really put the effort in, wasted a lot of oil paint figuring it out, it was not a well planned project. I repainted it almost entirely, the figure, background and finally finished it! The colors and composition are absolutely stunning in real life, and it looks beautiful on a wall at a large size of 20” x 47”!
