Description
1999. Acrylic on veneer.
'The Forest Queen', 'Isobel', or a 'Self-portrait I as a Female'. Almost entirely painted using a palette knife.
Here's another work that I will have to replace with a better reproduction as soon as possible. The image looks too grainy and unclear with various colour distortions. That'll have to do. I'm just watching the original and thinking that it is pleasant to look at. When I raise my eyes back at the screen, I see a bad art book version of it. Traditional artists are bound have a reduced life on the screen.

Originality Technique ImpactThis wonderfully expressive painting portrays such an original technique of rough, wispy brush strokes which give a dreamlike feeling to the figure while the saddened facial expression remains eerily prominent.
The bold brush strokes create a new fascination with the lighting on her head and face while beige colored highlights add intriguing contrast next to the dark background colors. The mirage-like trees in the background create a dark atmosphere but ultimately accent the crown tree-like figures on her head.
The top of the painting could have been slightly darker to give even more focus to the figure, but the lightness is not distracting. Her left eye is slightly off compared to the right, although it does add more mystery to her expression. Overall, a hauntingly beautiful piece that uses a very unique and eye catching technique.
