The Back Story

Dark Lady’s Vanity

First Painting in person since quarantine

This painting marks my first artistic endeavor since the quarantine period and the resumption of in-person learning at the FIT Fine Arts studio. The assignment called for the creation of an unconventional still life, and for this purpose, I arranged a feather fan and draped violet fabric to establish the desired mood and subject matter that I aimed to explore and portray on canvas.
