Janelle

Janelle is an original acrylic painting on a repurposed 18" x 18" canvas — a portrait of a woman in a moment of complete, unhurried stillness. Her eyes are closed, her lashes long and sweeping — real lashes, applied to the canvas, resting against her cheekbones with extraordinary presence. Her lips are full and deeply red, slightly parted, as if she is on the edge of a thought she has decided to keep. From her ears hang large gold hoop earrings, warm and round against the clean line of her jaw. Her head is wrapped in a dramatic geometric turban — panels of deep purple, burnt orange, coral, and golden yellow folded and layered into a bold architectural crown. The background radiates behind her in warm, luminous yellow and amber — loose and glowing, like afternoon sun through closed eyes. She holds herself with a quiet, rooted ease, one hand resting lightly at her own shoulder. Pure paint, pure lashes, pure Janelle. A one-of-a-kind original by Branka, created once and never again.
