Impressionist Woman Painting with Low Chignon - Canvas Wall Art

This impressionist woman painting by Marlo Shepard captures a quiet, inward moment. A young woman tilts her head down and to the left, eyes lowered and lips softly closed. Her honey-brown hair is swept back into a low chignon at the nape, with loose wisps curling around her cheek and ear. Patches of sunlight fall across her face, neck and bare shoulders, as if she's standing beneath leaves on a bright afternoon.

Marlo paints everything in short, thick dashes of color, almost like confetti. The background scatters pale aqua, sky blue, cream and butter yellow strokes, while her off-the-shoulder top is a dusty rose layered with slate, mauve and small flicks of red. Warm peach and ochre skin tones sit against the cool backdrop, so the figure seems to glow. Up close it's all texture; from across the room it reads as soft, dappled light.

It's a lovely choice for stylists and anyone who enjoys feminine wall art with a painterly hand. As hairdresser wall art it honors a simple, graceful updo, and as a woman hair painting it feels just as at home in a bedroom.

Hang this canvas wall art behind a styling chair or at the front desk as beauty salon decor, or pair it with other hair salon art on a gallery wall. It also suits a dressing area, powder room or spa, and makes easy salon wall decor for a blowout bar.
