Being Woman

Oil on Canvas




Sitting outside the dentist's office I felt jittery and was mindlessly flipping through an old magazine 
when I saw a public service ad for '
The Breast Cancer Research Foundation'. The photograph for the campaign was shot by 'Ruven Afanador' and the model was Crystal Renn. An absolutely gorgeous and timeless photograph !
 
The 'photograph' has been on my list of 'paintings to be done' for a while now and am glad I finally got to it. Figurative representational art is very tough to master and I have a long way to go.
I can see  flaws in the painting but I love it nevertheless :)
