Danni
Original acrylic painting by Keith Hemsley
About the painting
Danni is an expressive contemporary portrait combining elegant figurative painting with decorative floral motifs and a subtle Art Nouveau influence. She looks back over her bare shoulder, meeting the viewer with striking blue-green eyes. Her loosely swept dark hair, highlighted with silver and cream brushstrokes, creates a sense of movement and spontaneity.
The cool turquoise-blue background provides a beautiful contrast to the warm golden and peach tones of her skin. Delicate burgundy, red, and gold flowers along the right edge add richness without distracting from the face.
