Marilyn Monroe

I painted this one when in 2009 when I was 14.
At this time I was just trying to figure out what my style was and what a better way to start than with Marilyn? She is such a gorgeous woman and inspiration. Her beauty, till this day, lives on. I really like the way I chose to paint this painting. I had Marilyn be all black and white and the back-round in color. The under painting for the back-round is a blue but I went over is with a palet knife and just had fun with it. I used several colors, turqouise, blues, greens, and different tints and shades. It was deffinetly one of my more enjoyable paintings.

After a lot of thought, I gave this painting to one of my really good family friends who just fell in love with it. I am sure that I will do other Marilyn paintings in the future. Her beauty is too significant to ignore.
