Lady by the lounge, June 2012.  By Alicia Williams
"Lady by the Lounge" was inspired by a series of life drawing sketches created during the Cleveland Buzz event in June 2012. Warm, earthy tones were used to replicate the atmosphere on the day of the event, as well as to emphasise an aura of mystery. Pastel, Charcoal and Acrylic Paint were used to create texture and tone, to enhance the models stance and her unusual surroundings. The lady's face is expressionless apart from her enigmatic smile, which gives no secrets away. Possibly a modern day Mona Lisa, the lady by the lounge is a woman who emits grace and beauty.
