Portrait of a Gnome

16”x20” acrylic on canvas

For this piece I wanted to test the boundaries between kitsch and fine art and treat a completely un-serious subject in a serious way. So, with a small nod to Amélie, I captured this mischievous garden gnome standing against a damask wallpaper background, rendered in the dramatic chiaroscuro of Baroque art.
