Twice Upon A Time (Homage to W.A.Bouguereau)

Started in the fall of 2020 during the pandemic as a study of the work of William A. Bouguereau, and completed in the spring of 2023. Its textured surface is due to it being painted over an older work that was never completed. The goal was to make something beautiful out of something that was not beautiful at all. While not denying what was underneath, the imperfections of the past come through as part of the present.
