thanks so much for the comment. I'd have to say I used arte nouveau as merely and inspiration or a template, hopefully It looks different enough to be its own work. your reading is quite intriguing so thank you for that. I'd say that I was trying to present her as a stoic perceptive beauty. but I didn't want to just have some glamour pose. these sort of symbols and conventions is what I fell upon because where they stem from culturally resonate in my perception of her. I paint her in a way that exists in my head.

"The Clearing" Mucking around with oil paint to make it seem like water colours. by nickartsin Art

there are different qualities that you just cant get from water colour with oils. once you soil the white of a water colour painting it's done.
