Crane in a Kaftan - with Bismuth x1
I gifted one of my most favourite paintings to a wonderful teacher I know. From that time, I have had many people ask me to attempt another one.
This 70's style Kaftan and the dangly earrings represent the elegance and bodacious nature of the crane - her long legs and nail varnish and a dress that seems to look like strings of beads. The earrings are in fact pure bismuth crystal created by Swiss artist, Richard Egli.
