Depicted from a 1995 song by Kylie Minogue and Nick Cave "Where the wild roses grow". Her name is Elisa Day but they called her the Wild Rose. This portrait is basically my interpretation of her, she is an extrordinarily beautiful woman with pale white skin and blood red rose lips - which becomes her death in the end.
Lovingly created from my own imagination, I think she turned out beautifully.
Acrylic medium on a 40cm X 50cm canvas board.
I totally adore this painting, you captured the goth feel so well with her clothes and expression-well done!!!
