No. 2254 "Constance Decided to Allow Herself Just the One Night of Adventure" Portrait Plate

Sale price$235.00 Regular price$295.00

An oil portrait painting of Constance wearing a mask in a black dress on an antique French Haviland & Co. Limoges plate with a black and gold gilt border with a delicate Medieval feel, measuring 7.5". Entitled "Constance Decided to Allow Herself Just the One Night of Adventure". 

THE STORY: Inspired by literature, my portraits have novelistic titles that hint at the adventures of their heroines (and sometimes heroes). In this mini-collection of masked portraits, the directness of gaze suggests a willingness to share secrets, and the masks suggest balls, trysts, and clandestine escapades.
THE CHINA: Many of my paintings are set in antique saucers and dishes which not only work as unexpected frames but add a layer of historical narrative on top of the origin story. Each piece has a unique blend, so that some are more romantic, some more exotic, and some more otherworldly.
