Description: a red on red pastel double portrait of a young woman looking in a mirror. My inspiration is my second cousin, Molly. When I saw her in this red dress I knew I had to paint her. She graciously modeled for a photo session. She's smart and independent. What I see in Molly is a woman of strength who as beautiful on the inside as she is the outside. I treated the surface with marble dust and an acrylic wash of orange, red and burnt umber.
