Portrait from “The Spores & Pores of Fruiting Bodies”

Inspired by 18th century portraits this series puts one’s attention on only one of the Beings found within the oil & mixed medium painting. Intuitive layers of oil, cold wax, embroidery, powdered pigments, and solvents were used to build up ‘The Touch of Love’, a part of my Stories on Wood Collection.

This ‘Little Girl’ in this portrait loves yellow and dresses. She is ruled under an old-fashioned iron with no thoughts of her own causing her to feel caged in. With no freedom on the horizon, she has come to terms with her existence for now.

Printed with a professional grade printer, I use archival pigment inks on fine art paper. Therefore, do not place in direct sunlight unless framed with UV protective glass. 8” x 10” prints will fit nicely into a standard 8” x 10” frame.

My images are reproduced according to the scale/proportions of the original painting. Therefore, each print will have around a 1/2" white border (maybe more depending on the original proportions of the painting) on the top, sides, and bottom. The title of the painting and my studio name are printed underneath the image. Your order will arrive packaged in a protective stiff mailer.
