"Amelia" is a 18 x 23 inch custom oil painting on prepared paper. Originally created without a background, the piece was later commissioned to be completed with intricate gold leaf accents and black Art Nouveau-inspired florals chosen by the client. The subject is dressed in couture and posed with her arms raised above her head in a relaxed, confident stance. Her modern haircut and edgy presence bring a contemporary energy to the painting while contrasting beautifully with the decorative elegance of the background.
