Bella Capone

Where to start? This is BEAUTIFUL. The muted, warm colors, the texturing on the fur, the expression on the dog's face, the few (yet perfectly placed and chosen) props all come together WONDERFULLY in this painting. It's a perfect portrait, the simple background allowing the subject to stand out as it should. The choice of the hat, the cigarello (?), the card, the martini, the tie, this is so well planned out, it's hard to believe. I can literally think of NOTHING that this painting needs. This should be hanging on a wall somewhere. The flow you've created, following the line of smoke down, through the tie, to the cards and the drink, it's all marvelous! This is a truly amazing piece!
