Hibiscus Hair

Close-up shoulder-up of a young Tahitian woman about 26, Perfect Profile turned left (right half-face visible). Massive statuesque oval face, simplified Polynesian features: strong defined profile nose, full bordeaux-red slightly parted lips with contemplative-spiritual expression, almond black eye with thick black lashes lowered in introspection, thin arched black brow, single white-pearl earring. Black long straight hair gathered behind nape, small side-braid falling forward over shoulder. Flower oversized relative to face — absolute focal point.

An original oil painting on canvas by Owen Frost, painted to order — never a reproduction. Post-impressionist island reverie — tropical figures, lagoons and warm flattened colour.
