"Colleen" is a 18 x 24 inch custom oil on canvas portrait created as a personal heirloom for the client to one day pass down to her daughter. The composition incorporates a distinctive textile print background selected by the client, adding a deeply personal element to the piece. Rich texture throughout the portrait brings depth and movement to the painting, while delicate silver leaf accents shimmer with the jewels of her necklace, enhancing its sense of elegance and sentimentality. The completed artwork was shipped to the client's home in New Zealand.
