Whitby Goth (2025)Oil painting by Jo Beer

I was in Whitby for the Goth Weekend this year, I had gone hoping to find someone interesting to paint.
Whitby hosts Goth Weekend twice a year, it is well attended and is the perfect location due to the Bram Stoker Dracula connection. It was quite a spectacle and this woman stood out, wearing what I felt was the most beautiful outfit
Thankfully, she was happy for me to take some reference images with my phone quickly as I was swept along a narrow street in a sea of goths.

I have given her a William Morris gothic background( background pattern only is painted in acrylic).

Standard stretch canvas, edges painted black. Signed in paint on the front and pen on the back.
