Dilemma

More about Dilemma

A surrealist painting of a woman in a classical white gown standing in a cave-like opening overlooking a dramatic, cloudy landscape. The woman has dark hair and red lipstick, looking directly at the viewer with an unsmiling expression. She is wearing a long, off-white, Grecian-style dress with spaghetti straps, a fitted bodice, a high waist, and a flowing skirt with a high slit revealing her left leg. Behind her, the cave opening reveals a bright blue sky with large, voluminous white clouds. The cave walls are textured and organic, with rock formations that resemble folds of fabric or melted wax. To the right of the woman, beyond an architectural column, there is another cave opening and more blue sky. To her left, within the same cave structure, are two more openings revealing the sky and clouds. One of these openings shows a calmer sea in the distance. The foreground is a sandy or light-colored ground. Small details are present, such as what appears to be a small dog-like figure near the base of the cave structure to the left of the woman, and what could be a small bird or animal lodged in a rocky outcrop closer to the woman.
