Add a splash of bold colour and character to your space with this beautifully framed original painting, A Girl Called Dodo. Measuring 152 mm square, this unique piece is painted on high-quality watercolour paper using rich, opaque gouache paint. It captures the spirit of individuality, humour, and strength in a single, unforgettable image.
The painting portrays a girl — named Dodo — a character entirely of the artist's imagination and affectionately described as "one of a kind." With wild green hair, large red lips, and pale green eyes, Dodo is anything but ordinary. She radiates playful confidence and unconventional charm. Her background glows with a vibrant orange hue, contrasting sharply yet harmoniously with her cool turquoise jacket. In a moment of whimsy and warmth, Dodo has just blown the viewer a kiss, her hand tipped with bold red nail varnish, bringing the scene to life with a sense of motion and affection.
Every detail of this portrait is carefully considered to evoke curiosity and connection. Dodo's gaze is direct but enigmatic, and her expression is striking and tender. She is a celebration of uniqueness — eccentric, joyful, and entirely her person.
The painting is elegantly presented in a hand-finished wooden frame, which adds to its charm and quality. Fine gold-painted lines trace the edges of the frame, offering a subtle touch of refinement and catching the light just enough to lift the whole piece. Two carefully chosen mounts — a soft green inner mount and a crisp white outer mount — surround the image and enhance the colours within the painting, drawing the viewer's eye toward the figure of Dodo herself.
This framed piece is ready to hang and will bring character and conversation to any room — whether displayed as a standalone artwork or as part of a gallery wall. It would be a perfect addition to a creative studio, an eclectic home interior, or anywhere that celebrates individuality and colour.
A Girl Called Dodo is not just a painting; it's a little window into a vivid, imaginative world — a joyful reminder to be yourself, bold, and never afraid to blow a kiss to life.
