Smoldering Woman Merch

original art designed for products

Ink drawing on paper, digitally painted. I am going to a camping party in Death Valley called Smoldering Woman and this is my avatar for the event.

This painting shows the moment a door is opened and reveals a woman waiting in the dark all dressed up sitting in a highback chair as if on a throne. Something dramatic is about to happen for sure. This is one of my works from art school. I used photos in an old photography book for reference. It may be Marlene Dietrich but it ended up looking more like her daughter Maria Rivas. One of my favorite paintings from those days.
