Bride of thorns

A Corset, a Masque and a Mystery.

Everyone loves a woman in a Corset, especially if she is also wearing suspenders and stockings too! Add a few accessories like silk panties peeking out from under the laced, ribbed Corset, and a pair of long fingerless opera gloves, (She wants to show off her long painted nails), and there she is, my Lady in a Masque.
But what are the vines that bind her to the landscape? Is she part of the landscape, or is this a Mardi-Gras costume?

It has been a while since I drew a Lady in pretty Lingerie, so it was about time I returned to the subject.

And why not, everyone likes corsets and suspenders!!!

Ribbed Corset

This ribbed corset is a detail from my latest watercolor.
