High quality Peel

This piece is an original oil painting entitled high quality 'Peel' and is modeled after current actress, Lupita Nyong'o. The subject holds a bewitching and striking gaze as her body is enveloped upward by her geometrically peeling dress. The vibrant yellow of the dress is a reference to African deity, Oshun. The balance in color creates drama, depth and engages the viewer. This piece has been shown in several juried shows and has won an award of excellency in Lakeland, FL. 'Peel' is painted in high quality oil pigment, on premium, hand-stretched cotton duck canvas.
