Bella – 5 x 7 inch acrylic on Ampersand claybord

Another portrait, in the same style as the last. I had so much fun with the scribbling effect for the background. And I love the darker outlines…it’s a delving into Cloisonnism (which according to Wikipedia is a style of post impressionistic painting with bold and flat forms separated by dark contours).  I do a lot of reading up on art movements, and found a beautiful website for researching art history. The Web Gallery of Impressionism.

Bella is now available in my online art shop on Etsy.
