A digital soft pastel painting depicting the aftermath of a decadent opium party as flappers and their beaus lay strewn across the floor in a French salon in Paris, France early in the 20th century, in hues of creamy yellow, green, turquoise, and maroon. Loosely based on a vintage black and white photograph. Please visit my Portraiture art gallery to see of my figurative artwork.
