Sunday’s pic is by American painter Lori Earley.  Born and raised in New York, Earley trained at the School of Visual Arts in New York.

“My oil paintings are a combination of classical realistic rendering with a personal element of distortion This distortion comes from my innate desire to transform my emotions into tangible planes that express what I feel, not what I see.

My work is a fusion of personal experiences and influences- moody atmospheres, victorian-inspired couture, and timeless elements all laced with clandestine symbolism. The figures I paint exist in their own esoteric realm and time, and each painting offers a glimpse into their anomalous world.” (from artist’s website).”
