Sunday Sketches - Whitney Houston Dress

For Sophia's Sunday Sketches, I saw a photo of this eye-catching Whitney Houston dress up for auction and thought I could paint it for you in this acrylic ACEO. Please stop by the other participants to see what they sketched this Sunday!

Oh I remember that dress :)

Christine said...

Lenora, it's been valued at $1000 but they think it will go for more than that.

Kay apparently she wore this dress in 'The Bodyguard'

Oceangirl, I think I will address that question in a future post! Stay tuned.

Thanks for stopping by everyone!

Alicia C said...

what a great dress - I agree with other posters , it portrays simplicity and grace - the best things in fashion! (I never actually got to see that movie - weird - i was a huge Whitney fan in the late 80's)

Sabina said...

What a touching tribute--and a nice choice. The dress is tasteful and painted really nicely.

Jenn Bower said...

Aw, kind of bitter sweet. Very nice job on the dress.

The dress and sketch has some nice lines. It reminded me of paper dolls.....it could be cut out ;)
