Marilyn Monroe unfinished oil painting on canvas.

Marilyn Monroe, unfinished painting.
~
Broken brush strokes are used on the background to create a feeling of movement.

~
The hair and earrings have been built up with thick paint so that they catch the light.

~
It is difficult to know what to do next with this painting sometime I feel that less is more.

~
The next time you see this painting it will be finished.

The feeling of movement is very good. Her smiling expression is really beautiful.

Oh I love what you did with the purple and the movement in the background.

The hair truly does catch the light, and I stand amazed at your wonderful talent.

I love the paparazzi behind her! Reminds me that the peace of acceptance is hard to find in this world.
