Description
This commissioned work is based on a quote that a young man said to his girlfriend prior to introducing him to his mother. "You need to know that she's a pit bull that wears lipstick!"
I wrestled with taking on this commission out of respect for his mother, but I know her well and she has a terrific sense of humour. And yes....she definitely is feisty!! Thank you for viewing. Barbara McMahon
Update: This painting was given as a Christmas gift. Yesterday I received a card from the recipient. I quote, "Thank you for the dleightful portrait of "She's A Pit Bull That Wears Lipstick"! I LOVE it! This gift was my favorite of all this Christmas and as I have always wanted a painting by you, I will treasure it always. My Brother wanted to know how old you were - and if you were close to dying, as he would buy a painting as an investment as he could see the talent and creativity you possess!!!!"
I've always felt uncomfortable painting commissioned work but to receive this feedback has really made my day. As far as dying, I'm still affordable, as I plan to be around a long time!! :) Barbara McMahon
