She stands at a threshold, and holds back the curtain of time, to reveal the first untethered flight of mankind, a hot air balloon created in Paris, France by the Montgolfier brothers. Further in the distance and past the shadowy gardens, one glimpses the Empire State Building, another symbol of progress as we learn from our predecessors. Where will we go next?

This is an oil on linen-mounted panel painting that is 11″ x 14″, with accents of genuine gold leaf in the trim of the dress and earring. The model is the lovely @vintagemaedchen_by_victoria  and the vision is inspired by progress and discovery.  I also thought about the strange portraits of queens, strange in that the stylized lighting often made little sense but produced an unearthly glow and theatre-like look.

Refuge, oil and silver leaf on linen, 20"x24", Jessica Libor 2011

I completed this painting about a month ago, but wanted to wait until I had a good image to share before posting about it.  It’s called “Refuge”, and is oil and silver leaf on linen, at 18″X20 inches in dimension.  It’s a painting of a friend, like most of my work, and something  I really enjoyed working on.  If you’re interested in collecting it, see more details on my website www.jessicalibor.com, or if you’re interested in viewing it, email me and we can work something out.  Enjoy!
