principiante
where did you get your inspiration from for this painting?
Jean Hildebrant replied
principiante, I saw this model posing for a class and I asked her if she would pose for me. I thought the mission would make a lovely bg so I painted that behind her. She wasn’t really there :
) She brought the dress and I loved it. I wanted to convey a sunny stroll outdoors and the beauty of the model and all the beautiful colors in her dress and shawl. It just came together. :) JeanAngel Warda
