Original artwork description:

This is an original oil painting with a moody, vintage feel of a beautiful woman holding a glass of wine at a dimly lit bar. Shrouded in smoke and mystery, she recalls a long ago era. I wanted to evoke a film noir mood and create a world-weary yet seductive femme fatale...particularly beguiling after sunset.

This painting is part of a series of portraits of women of the 1920's and 1930's. From flappers to starlets, I am very inspired by this glamorous and classic era.

I kept the brushstrokes and edges soft, melting the figure into her hazy surroundings. This kind of dark, glazed oil painting is especially difficult to photograph without a lot of glare. I tried to capture it from varying angles to provide a reasonably accurate sense of the overall painting.
