The Perfect Relationship - Oil on Canvas Panel - Painting of Shirt, Tie and Earrings

The Perfect Relationship - Oil on Canvas Panel - Painting of Shirt, Tie and Earrings
This one was meant to represent a relationship that falls together without much effort and is not yet finish. Maybe that is the true nature of relationships even when it seems to fall together maybe not all of it does. This painting may never get finished.

The Perfect Husband 22x14--Blue Polka Dot Tie and Shirt


The Perfect Husband 22x14 gesso and oil on BFK - Blue Polka Dot Tie and Shirt
This is the image that started my tie series. The perfect husband does not exist but we single women can always hope. The sleeves are rolled up because he is a hard worker, it's blue because he is loyal, the collar is unbuttoned because he is easy going, it's wrinkled because he is humble, and the polka dot tie shows he has some class. What a great guy!

I have been cleaning out my studio and have not been painting much. However, even though the studio is not organized yet I had to start painting again. So you will see some more post soon.

Was the tie invented by a woman as revenge for high heals? Just a thought.
