Chris Gollon was a very sensitive painter of women. In this painting, there is perhaps the hint that the singer has been made or asked to dress in a way that she might not have otherwise have chosen.

In 2012, Chris Gollon's innovative techniques came to the attention of Liquitex, manufacturers of artists' fine art acrylic paints. They began to supply his paints for nothing and invited him to exhibit at their London HQ in a new bespoke gallery space. At this time Chris Gollon also showed his ability in oil painting, but as he liked to paint quickly to get the ideas in his head onto canvas, he preferred acrylic, since it dries faster. In a few paintings if that period, he chose to combine the two media, by painting in oil over acrylic, successfully merging the two techniques.
