D.K. Richardson
“The Babylonian Woman”
Oil on Linen
14 x 11 in.
$22,000
Named for an exotic culture of the past, “The Babylonian Woman” is a fantasy of how such a woman might have adorned herself. She would have been confident, poised, and strong. Her headdress would have been woven by hand, multi-colored, having texture and beautiful fringe.
This work of art is painted with a verdaccio underpainting. The entire painting is done in greens, and then glazed with thin layers of color. This allows the skin to have a transparent and more life-like appearance.
Pause . . . be of present mind, all is well, just stop and take a moment to ponder the beauty before us and share it with those around you.
