The theme at Sunday Postcard Art this week is Winter Elegance. Whilst looking for inspiration I came across a French fashion advertisement from the 1920's showing a woman in a very fine winter coat. Without thinking any more about it I decided that I would paint it.

The more I sketched and painted the more ridiculous the image became. What on earth was being depicted here? They are supposed to be selling coats and dresses! Instead they have a rather elegant lady in high heels perilously close to the edge of a drop, while a man in a car looks on horrified. Love it :)
It is painted on heavy duty card stock using Golden Fluid paints in a lose style. I finished off some pieces with inktensils and coloured pencils. I really should have put more work into the detail, but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.
