Signed Expressionist Painting of a Woman from Ghana (2015), "Waiting for A Suitor"

Waiting for a suitor, a woman lounges in a blue dress in this painting by Ghanaian artist Cecilia Adedunmola Adeniran. An expressionist style plays with color and deep shading, depicting the subject against a yellow background. Paper is applied to the canvas for an intriguing relief texture. Says the artist, "True beauty is inward, not outward. Outward appearance is sometimes deceptive."
