Description
Size: 18 x 9.75 inchesMedia: Acrylic on board
Date: September 2004
A gift for my parents on their anniversary. Inspiration for the title: the fabric reminded me of a figure (something that happens a lot in my still lifes), framed in a sort of medieval arch niche. The figure suggested by the fabric seemed kind of regal to me, and reminds me of a young woman -- hence "Damsel" - thinking of princesses in distress I suppose...

That's quite an amazing piece, beautiful in its simplicity. The colors are absolutely wonderful, as is the general composition.

Fantastic painting; well deserving of the DD. :3
I can't see where the woman is, though, could you point her out?

there isn't actually a woman present, i just felt that the fabric looked like a dress and had a kind of personality like a "damsel"...thanks for the comment!

This is really great framing, and such an amazing orange......so vibrant and rich.
I am glad you did these fabric paintings. I'm certain that I'll be referencing them for my fashion designs(time to start the sketches for the college portfolio)----I've always had issues with painting/drawing fabric....so this is good to have on hand
