Enchantment

The pictures I found of Marie Antoinette have her in  magnificent millinery.  In one version, she wears a silk turban with feathers cascading down one side of her face.  So, this is my attempt to capture her, elaborately mid-flourish.

Enchantment is 6x6" acrylic on gessoboard.

Chapeau

Another picture I found of Marie Antoinette shows her in a wide-brimmed hat, possibly setting out for  a garden party with all her courtiers.  Something new I tried on this series was painting on gessoboard.  It's very absorbent, and has a completely different feel from painting on canvas.  It takes some getting used to, but I like it.
