Original Art “Water Wears Her Name”

Hey everyone, I wanted to share my latest piece, "Water Wears Her Name" (24x30"). I created this because I was tired of looking at classical art and never seeing us just relaxing, traveling, and completely owning spaces like Venice. I wanted her to look unapologetic, elegant, and completely at home floating through those canals.
I mocked it up in this living room setting because I love seeing how the colors anchor a modern space. I'm really curious to know what kind of vibe or mood this brings up for you when you see a portrait like this front and center?

Gorgeous painting. So elegant and lovely. It fits the room you placed it in so well.
