There came a woman

all dressed in red

no one remembered

her name 

or what she said

She carried herself 

with grace and elegance

and won the hearts of men

with just one glance

This is an original oil painting and the second in the homage to Gustave Klimt. I was inspired by the strength in all of his portraits of women. In fact the woman's strength was the source of her beauty. That is what I tried to accomplish here.
