"Pandemic"

10 x 10 inch acrylic paiting on gallery wrapped canvas. This piece was inspired by a photo taken by Helmut Newton. Originally, I intended it to be a light and fun piece and was going to call it "Pool party", but soon after starting, the global pandemic hit. Covid-19 has derailed our meticulously planned lives much like this beautifully put together woman has lost her footing. To me, this image is a reminder that we can't always be in control and I think its relatable in a lot of ways. Plus, I like her outfit.
