A classical portrait of a figure wearing period dress and a decorative headpiece is interrupted by bold horizontal brushstrokes in pink, red, cyan, yellow, and orange that sweep across the face and torso like deliberate marks of abstraction. The layered strokes create a sense of fragmentation and playful disruption, transforming the dignified old master painting into a contemporary statement that bridges representational and abstract modes. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
