About the Item
Artist Comments
"The pastel-colored palette is sweet and feminine, like a box of macarons from Laduree," shares artist Malia Pettit. "It's all together like a modern-day Marie Antoinette showing up for her own surprise tea party." Blush pink and peach dominate this candy-colored portrait. With the intuitive addition of pastel green on the background and a snippet on the model's top, a cheerful balance is achieved.
About the Artist
Malia Pettit sees her artistic process as an act of “liberating the paint” and “allowing for the unexpected to occur.” Her portraits of women stem from a fascination with glossy magazines and their portrayal of models, actors and celebrities. Her work has been especially influenced by Chantal Joffe and John Singer Sargent. She currently lives in California after having lived in England for ten years. When she’s not painting, she is a full-time mom and enjoys exploring estate sales, antique stores and used bookstores.
