With her polka dot dress and her eyes concealed under her vogue, over-sized hat, this pretty woman presents a demure expression in a mid-century style. This fanciful portrait of a fashion model of the 60s combining a mid-century palette is contrasted against a desaturated value painting of her face and body, using the bluish-black from the palette. I love fashion and trends! I almost went into the fashion industry as an illustrator. I read every fashion magazine of the time so that my hair style and makeup were up-to-date, and followed the trends of clothing styles. This approach is significant to me, as I am able to incorporate the memories of my past into my current work.
