The Story Behind this Painting
Inspired by the old masters’ paintings of women relaxing in the boudoir, Florence began this work by taking photos of her daughter in a reclined position. A boudoir is a woman's private sitting room or salon deriving from the French verb boudoir (sulking) as the room was originally a space for sulking in or to withdraw to. The relaxed style and contrasting fine detail of the full body painting was a unique challenge that ended-up taking Florence much longer than her other works. The viewer's gaze enters the painting with the folds of the flowing garment, moves to the ruffle of the pillow, and finally settles on the subject’s crystal clear eyes. Florence painted the original 24” x 48” oil-on-canvas in 1998 and titled it Boudoir in Blue. Ships rolled in a protective tube.
