Coral Kimono - original oil pastel portrait of a maiko

portrait geisha coral kimono colorful oil pastel

 I (obviously) love painting maiko (apprentice geisha) and geisha.   Their culture and training fascinates me and I hope they don't fade away.  This painting is on Strathmore recycled paper bonded to museum board.  When I have the chance to draw a model in geisha costume, I make as many sketches as I can in the time allowed.  Thanks so much for looking!

What a coincidence! I happened to post on geishas couple of days ago!

Where are your geisha posts - can't find them - maybe I'm on the wrong blog - please let me know!
