This charming naive portrait depicts a woman in side profile, set against a vivid, atmospheric blue background. 

The blue background, brushed in loose circular strokes, creates a halo-like effect around the head and heightens the painting’s dreamlike presence. The proportions are unconventional and expressive rather than academic, giving the work its distinctive naive appeal.

Acquired by Todd Oldham at a flea market in the 1990s, this painting is part of the Todd Oldham Studio Collection of Found Art. Todd, an avid collector of anonymous and found artworks—including paintings and photography—has long been drawn to pieces that reveal personal vision, eccentric beauty, and the unfiltered character of everyday makers. This portrait embodies that spirit: modest in material, bold in color, and memorable in its singular, stylized portrayal.
