Boudoir: Portrait of Tanya Atanasova

In this portrait of realist painter Tanya Atanasova, I flipped the expectations of the traditional boudoir portrait by putting Tanya in a power suit. The pose she takes is bold and her expression smolders with the rock and roll intensity of Annie Lennox or Joan Jett. Tanya painted a portrait of me in the same setting and through the process of painting one another, we became great friends.
