Lucinda by

Lucinda is inspired by a collection of Victorian era photo portraits my Dad gave me, given a bit of a modern ‘pop surreal’ treatment.

Others in the series:

60 × 45cm acrylic on wood panel.

I have made a step-by-step progress blog on this one. If you’d like a look you’ll find it here

T-shirt and sticker available.
