Description I was inspired by 16th century Flemish and Tudor portraits. I was experimenting a little with a collage-like technique;
piecing together this-and-that to create the clothing. There was a specific painting I was emulating, but I can't find it anymore.

I didn't realize it had been so long since I'd made anything. I'd almost forgotten what I was doing
It's summertime in Chicago, so I'm not home much.

Some of the clothes they used to wear make me wish I was good at sewing so I could make them for myself.

Love it. The fading of the hair/drapery from the hat and the beads totally invoke Bosch to me. Especially being rendered on a black field.

Hauntingly beautiful, and you got the Tudor feel to this spot on.

It reminds me much of Portrait of a Lady by van der Weyden, not in looks, just of the tone, portraying the piety of the sitter.

Thank you!

I like you comment very much, because achieving that calm, pious look of the sitter was the hardest part.
