The Spirit of Marilyn
" Inspired by Warhol"
11 x 14 Oil painting on canvas
Art within Art Series
SOLD
I loved Marilyn Monroe and always liked the way Warhol portrayed her.
She was such a glamor puss that I thought it would be fun to bring a little
of "The Spirit of Marilyn" to a boudior scene that may have been some of her favorite things.
She loved furs and jewelry, perfume, flowers and hot pink and I am sure she had plenty of mirrors!
Another fun painting to add to my Art within Art Series. Enjoy!
