124 | The Red Boa | Liadaan O | $1800 | This is a portrait from life using pastel on paper with little or no blending.

This pastel was done from life in my studio with my model Naomi whom I have painted many times. She looked elegant and also vibrant wearing the red boa. We were both happy with the result. I love the vulnerability that Naomi presents, but also her calm inner strength. I felt that the vibrant red along with the black represented her character.
