Devil woman

Seriously she's been a devil this one. Perhaps starting with such a fiery red didn't help, I was clearly asking for trouble. The temper was rising, the tantrums threatening to explode.

Just look at that moody stare; I wouldn't cross her if I were you. I've a feeling her man may well have caused some upset. Did he stray? Did he not quite understand the question "Does my bum look big in this?" Either way, he's in big trouble that's for sure.

I think he should take her dancing - something wild and tempestous with a Latin vibe. A rose between his teeth and a Cuban heel might just take her mind off his misdemeanours. Or maybe he'd be better off with someone a bit less pouty!

She is celebrating Red week at The Summer of Colour.

Acrylic background, charcoal, pastels, a bit more acrylic and a dash of temper thrown in for good measure. Keep your distance!

    Awesome! Very emotive and expressive. I think she is majorly angry over something!

    I think she has sad eyes so maybe her attitude is a mask... lovely piece for our red week.

    She definitely looks as if she has a bone to pick. She is very lovely though with her threatening look. :-)

    great picture. Yes working with the red has her rather smoldering - but in a good way.
    I like women who know how to show attitude.

    Hugs,

    Suddenly I began singing "Eeee-eevil woman..." in my head. You really captured her black (and red) mood.

    Your description of her man's misdemeanors made me laugh :)
