A Bit of Glamor
for Vern Schwarz's Moleskin
10x8 oil on gessoed paper
Vern Schwarz was nice enough to leave the subject to us for his book. This sometimes is more of a challenge to me than to have a theme. I thought I would go way off the charts and try to paint an homage to the 40's/50's era Hollywood glamor. I love movies from that era. The cinematography was beautiful and the women were always dressed to the nines. This image is based very loosely on a photo of Gene Tierney.
