Description:
This painting started out as one of my abstracts and slowly developed into the direction of a portrait. The incomplete canvas hung on my studio wall for over a year as many other of my canvases started this way do, some paintings for many years like "Bondage of the Female Spirit" and "Angel of Tears".
I felt it had a very spiritual feeling but I didn't know what direction the painting was going to take me. When my model arrived for a days work she was wearing a beautiful green velvet dress which I immediately saw her as a portrait fitting into the incomplete canvas.
She brought along a couple of CD's of the music of Saint Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179). We listened to these CD's over and over again throughout the completion of the painting. Titling of a painting is very important to me and realizing how the "Music of Hildegard" influenced the creation of this painting made the titling of this painting easy.
