Her eyes are lost under a cloud of curls, her chin is tipped up, and one hand hangs in the air by her shoulder as if she's halfway through a thought she has no intention of sharing. Cobalt sweeps down one side of her, amber and orange blaze up the other, and magenta stitches the two together. Behind it all drift lines of looping handwritten script that never quite let you read them. She's a muse who keeps her secrets, and that's half the fun of living with her.

The word bohemian has a good story of its own. In nineteenth-century Paris it was borrowed to describe the artists and writers who lived poor, stayed up late and paid polite society no mind. Henri Murger's tales of that crowd went on to inspire Puccini's opera La Bohème, and the label has clung to free-spirited creative types ever since.

The painting style tips its hat to Expressionism, the early twentieth-century movement, with groups like Die Brücke in Germany, that used color to show how something felt rather than how it looked. Nobody's cheek is really turquoise and tangerine, which is rather the point. Add impasto, where the paint is laid on so thick each stroke keeps its own ridges and edges, and you get a portrait that seems to move when you walk past it.

This piece is newly made and comes in four sizes, from a modest hallway piece up to a full statement over the sofa. Wherever she goes, hang her where the light can catch those amber curls.

A bohemian portrait of a curly-haired woman emerges from cobalt, magenta, and amber brushstrokes layered over script-text background, every painterly streak and impasto edge caught in expressionist-portrait register. Bohemian is contemporary painting in expressionist-portrait register — bohemian muse caught in spectrum-and-pearl theater.

Behind tempered glass, the spectrum-and-pearl palette keeps its painterly saturation and the brushstroke detail holds its tactile impasto, the polished surface giving the portrait cinematic depth.

A natural fit for rooms that welcome bold, expressive palette — a living room with statement pulse, a bedroom with editorial mood, a hallway with cinematic warmth. For expressionist lovers, portrait collectors, and anyone drawn to figurative imagery with curl-and-color poetry.
