Original signed and framed oil painting on canvas.  
 
Created by California artist Elizabeth Tana. This piece is titled "Woman in Black" - Perhaps you know the artist? The painting is in impeccable condition, although the frame has some blemishes and markings.
 
I acquired this from a Russian art collector in Northern California. His garage was overflowing with artwork, and we spent hours looking through his collection. After finishing, we went into his kitchen to negotiate a deal — and that's when I spotted this piece hanging over the main stairway of his house.

A woman sits gracefully at a table, her legs elegantly crossed, exuding a sense of calm amidst her vibrant surroundings. The scene is dominated by bold red and orange hues, their intensity contrasting sharply with her blue and black attire, creating a visual feast of color. On the table before her lies a bowl filled with knitting materials, suggesting a moment of quiet creativity and domesticity. The heat of the background envelops her, while her composed demeanor offers a striking counterpoint. This painting captures the intersection of tranquility and vibrancy, inviting the viewer to ponder the quiet moments of creation within the complexity of life.
