Tikified (2022) Original Oil Painting by Jo Beer

This is Verena. Everything about Verena is 'Tiki' styled. Apart from the times that she is in uniform as a WASP ( women's air force service pilot) in a re-enactment group, this is how she is. Another opportunity to indulge my love of little details...here, a tiki package head to toe. Hibiscus dress, bamboo jewellery, bright red hair, red lips and nails, tattoos, flower in hair. I asked at her sitting for a suggestion for the background " leopard print, definitely leopard print!" to which I have added shimmery gold acrylic to take it just that little bit further.

Deep edge canvas, edges painted black. Signed front and reverse.
