Princess

10IN X 15IN ACRYLIC ON CANVAS

"The Princess"
(A PORTRAIT OF MY SISTER)

This is one of my favorite paintings because of its Asian inspired concept. I made this artwork because my little sister requested for it, as a Birthday gift for her 12th birthday. She wanted herself to be painted as a Japanese princess with the theme of the spring season. So, I made her hair longer than it actually is and placed ornaments on it that resembles that of a Japanese princess. The ribbons were added just for composition's sake. Then, to add a spring season atmosphere to the painting, I layered the dark background with cherry blossoms falling from the sky.
