Dinah Lord, Kid Sister

Pencil and ink on a cradled wood panel, with natural unpainted wood edges. 6 x 6"

I made this piece for a past group show I was in, with a theme of "Imaginary portraits, inspired by names popular in the mid-twentieth century." I had the name Dinah, so I depicted Dinah Lord - the younger sister in the 1940 movie The Philadelphia Story - and included a line of her text in/around the image.

The inks I used for the abstract background are slightly glittery/iridescenct. This is an original painting and there aren't prints or cards of it, so it's completely one of a kind!

This piece has a wire on the back so you can hang it up, or just stand it up on a tabletop or bookshelf.
