Pride

I have had this reference photo for some time but kept putting painting it off
It was rather dark photo and had to use a lot of artistic licence with it..

I have called it Pride, not only is this a celebration of the females body but her pride too!
I have left the right breast covered suggesting many things.......

 

Shielding her heart?
A missing breast from cancer treatment?
Reflection?

Half exposure?

I will let you make your own story up about this beautiful painting
But of course I do hold the story I associate with it.

If you would like to buy the original painting
It is currently for sale via the Art Gallery Tetbury
