Never mind what other girls wear on the farm. This young lady is a fashion forward farmer. Like a brooding hen, she will protect her nest. The model was actually wearing the artist’s pink Doc Marten boots, but the artist chose to close in on the colorful assortment of eggs for this painting, inspired by a scarcity of eggs in the supermarket.
Using a comprehensive color palette of acrylic paint, the artist draws attention to several realistic points. With the intended main focus on the written word, this painting is meant to encourage and motivate. The title implies that in a group of metaphorical flowers, this stylish lady is someone’s favorite. She is bold, yet she is graceful as she tiptoes through the tulips.
Not your typical boxing ring attire, but this champion fighter steps into the ring whenever it’s necessary. She always fights the good fight. Her inner strength and beauty alone will usually result in a technical knockout against her opponent. Some women have seen this painting as symbolic to fighting an illness, especially breast cancer.
