Daisy

"We can't lose each other. And let all this glorious love end in nothing. Come home. I'll be here waiting and hoping for every long dream of you to come true."

-Daisy Buchanan, 'The Great Gatsby'.

This oil painting was inspired by Daisy Buchanan from the Great Gatsby. This was the main piece in my art exhibit, the final art project for graduating in high school. I have always been very proud of this painting. My style at the time was heavily influenced by the art deco portraits of Polish artist Tamara de Lempicka which compliments the subject well as the Great Gatsby is set in the Roaring Twenties.
