Signed and Dated 1985.

Thank you Paul from Merida Yucatan Mexico for contributing this beautiful picture from his collection of Van Enos. One look, I immediately recognize the woman similar to the painting I own. In both paintings, the women are wearing the similar wavy blue/yellow outfit with Van’s signature fruit-bearing trees in the background.

However, my guess is that the 2 women may not be of the same inspiration. This one has the model diva pose, the long pearl jewelry, the large rose worn at the waist and the red fingernail polish showing high fashion and esteem. It is very elegant. My painting depicts restful simplicity, laid back state - with the focus on the hair.

Thanks Paul for Sharing!
