Oil on 30 x 40 inch canvas

A Princess of Pearls but a Queen of Hearts is a vision of strength wrapped in beauty, a woman who walks the line between fairy-tale elegance and a commanding presence. Her red skin, adorned with a delicate white heart pattern, pulses with quiet confidence, while her piercing blue eyes hold a knowing gaze—one that sees beyond the surface. Dressed in a simple brown maiden’s gown, she carries herself like royalty, a white daisy poised near her face as if savoring its fleeting fragrance.

Behind her, a castle unlike any other rises, its pink mortar holding together luminous, irregular pearls—each unique, each precious, a reflection of the woman herself. The golden sky above bathes the scene in warmth, casting an ethereal glow in the background.

Is she a mere princess, adorned in pearls? Or is she something greater—a queen, not by birthright, but by the undeniable power of her heart? A Princess of Pearls but a Queen of Hearts invites the viewer into a world where fairy tales are rewritten, and true majesty is defined by spirit, not status.
