The Millinery

 
Amber brought in this striking green crushed velvet dress, and I immediately thought of the red hat that my wife found recently at a thrift store. I don't know if the composition really conveys the sense of a shop, but I went with the title anyway.

  1. I don't care for the red/green combination. I'm not sure a redhead should wear a red hat. I think that's against the "redhead law". However, the painting is beautifully done, as your paintings always are. I'm glad your shoulder is better.

    I love how the red relects on her face in the mirror.
