The Vivienne Tribute Portrait

image of a painting of drag artist The Vivienne. Head and shoulders portrait with head tilted slightly to left shoulder, which is slightly forward. Right shoulder is obscured behind wig. The Vivienne is in full make-up with smokey eyes and red, full lips, wearing a long blonde wig, and a white dress covered in crystals. The background is dark and almost black, with hints of the fluorescent magenta ground peaking through.
The Vivienne, acrylic on canvas, 16×20″

I have a list of people that I am interested in painting, and when I added The Vivienne to that list I did not imagine for one second that I would be painting them following their death.

RIP queen, 32 is far too young to have left us.

I think I have finished my tribute to you, and have taped the paintbrushes down. For now.

Til the morn,

Suzanne
