Rinoa Heartilly of Garden lies recumbent on a white ground as if the air itself were a bed, eyes closed in surrendered tenderness, dark lashes still, mouth parted on a sleeping breath, right hand lifted beside her cheek with fingers loosely curled, left hand resting open on her thigh, body slightly twisted so one knee falls toward the viewer. Long blue-black hair streams upward and backward in wet ribbons that dissolve into cerulean watercolor vapor shot through with gold-leaf veins and pressed forget-me-nots and scarlet blossoms. She wears a long sleeveless teal rib-knit cardigan hanging open, a black satin tank, a high-waisted cobalt mini with a column of small gold buttons over black leather zip-shorts, ribbed knit wrist-warmers, three silver bangles stacked on the left wrist, a thin chain at the throat, rings on the left hand. Fair skin, a small beauty-mark stillness at the cheek, glossy hair catching a cool north light. Cream paper void. Michael C. Hayes oil on panel over the watercolor event: Watts Atelier anatomy, Pre-Raphaelite enamel on the closed lids, imaginative realism, gold leaf sitting on wet glaze.
