Hide a Lot of Stuff Under There

After painting an entire gown in multiple images, I often found myself lost in the joys of the non objective quality of the mountainous fabric. The title harkens back to a comment my daughter made when shopping for her own bridal gown, "You could hide a lot under there." The remark resonated with me because women are not often honest, consciously or unconsciously, with themselves or with their partner as marriage looms on the horizon.

Acrylic on linen.
