The woman in the painting is a character from the Italian poet Dante. She was described as a heartless lady dressed in green. In her hand she holds a crystal bowl reflecting the figures of Love and Dante .
I really wasn't intending to do the challenge this month..so close to Christmas..so much to do. But when I saw the painting chosen by the editors of ABS..my absolute favorite colors..golden greens, chestnut browns,the romance in the setting and all that wonderful fabric! sigh..wish I had started a month ago..but here is my entry.
Left it alone and added a vintage velvet remnant that had it all..well almost...those olive greens, the chestnut brown and subtle flowers playing with the warm colors.
Vintage brass beaded chain with tiny shabby yellow enameled brass flowers wraps, together with the velvet, three times around the wrist for a fabric cuff bracelet... 'Madonna Pietra'.
