The Hanging Garden

16″ x 20″ Acrylic on canvas

Another lost painting found. This one takes me back to my goth days, I can’t help but think of one of my favorite songs by The Cure, “The Hanging Garden”. There’s a lot of layered texture and different colors peaking through the violets and pinks, creating a dreamy, fantasy like escape. 

Ha ha! I’m going to do it, posting a photo of me in 1986, and this was me “toned down” for my sophomore yearbook photo!  Oh, that hair, it was hideous!

When I was young and goth! Tiffany Arp 1986

Processing…
Success! You're on the list.

        You still look like a rock star, just a less punk one. 🙂

    Hideous? Absolutely no! Striking and layered and sultry as your “lost” art, Tiffany! I see Joan Jett & Pat Benatar & a budding artist with art to match ❤️

      Ahh, you are too kind, Adan! I was certainly influenced by music as much then as I am now!

        And I think it shows in your art, the flows and patterns, visual pulses of the beat – your beat ♥️

    I see ghostly figures in the painting. A stunning photo. You were a beautiful goth. You are beautiful as an artist.
