Yellow, Original Painting

Artist Comments
A monochromatic portrait of a woman with striking dark hair and makeup contrasts with the bright yellow butterflies and flowers. A glass vase with a lyrical arrangement of calla lilies enhances the organic feel of the composition. Musical notes and abstract patterns provide additional layers of texture and intrigue. Warm tones blend harmoniously, forming a visually engaging piece.

About the Artist
Artist Mandy Main captures nature's beauty through her panoramic vistas. "My works are a spiritual outpouring, a reflection of my inner being," says Mandy. After earning her bachelor's degree in art in the late 1970s and her master's in the 1980s, she initially struggled to connect with the market's focus on edgy and conceptual styles. It wasn’t until the 1990s, when landscape compositions became popular again, that she began selling her work. By 2003, she had transitioned to a full-time artistic career and became an art historian. Mandy paints in a small, converted studio in her rental property, adorned with an oriental carpet. In her spare time, she loves traveling, exploring museums and gardens, and cooking—particularly Thai cuisine, a skill honed from living in Thailand for 18 months and visiting nearly 30 times.
