Folk Acrylic Portrait on Canvas Painting

Bold original acrylic portrait of a woman, signed and dated lower right, rendered in a striking flat, silhouetted style - deep black skin tones contrasted against a warm palette of mustard, dusty pink, and sky blue. Her hair cascades in concentric painted bands of pattern, echoing a halo, while a richly patterned paisley shawl drapes over one shoulder. A striking piece with a folk-art and Matisse-inspired sensibility.
