This is a painting of one of my favorite models named Rose. She is a very theatrical model and the back drop of red was perfect for the drama of the under lighting. I started this painting three times. I loved the pose and the set up and at first I wanted a hard Toulouse Lautrec type feeling, but my model is a very sweet person and the hard seedy persona of the divas that Lautrec painted did not fit Rose.
