Creative Exploration of the Woman in the Red Beret

Do you like flat lays? I love using flat lays as part of my art process. They help me throughout the process, before I start, during the creation of, and after I’ve finished the painting. (I also love flat lays for flat lays’ sake.) This flat lay told me so much about the personality of the woman I was painting, my version of Picasso’s “Woman in a Red Beret”. See a sneak peek here.

Picasso’s Woman in a Red Beret and Checked Dress

I discovered that for me she was a modern, tech-savvy chick, with an eye for vintage collectibles. She’s young, urban, and intelligent and refuses to be put in a box. She’s hip, gritty, and has got a flair for Baudelaire. She knows the real thing when she sees it.

What would you put in a flat lay about yourself? I wanna know.

You can purchase the original or prints of my painting, “Woman in a Red Raspberry Beret” in my store here (original art), and here (prints) .
