Larry Whittaker Oil Painting on Canvas of Surreal Collage
Item Details
An oil painting on canvas of a surreal collage by artist Larry Whittaker. This painting features a pastel color palette, depicting a woman posed in front portraiture solemnly staring downward at a rose she clutches at. The portrait is contained in a taped off border, with an overlay of a rose, patterned doves, horizontal bands and a transparent mermaid watching over crashing waves. The layered composition resembles that of a collage, with flecks of paint and thin washes defining background elements. The painted surface has been treated with a thin layer of varnish. To the lower right corner of the composition is an artist signature. The canvas is wrapped over a wooden stretcher.
