2005 Signed Steve LeBailly Original Mixed-Media Portrait – "Ethereal Figure" A striking and contemporary 2005 original mixed-media painting by the late Seattle artist Stephen "Steve" B. LeBailly (1947–2024). This work represents a bold departure from his earlier traditional styles, blending expressive watercolor washes with modern, graphic gouache linework. The serene, angelic figure is set against a vibrant, saturated purple field, creating a soulful and "statement" piece. It is housed in a substantial, ornate gold-toned plaster frame that provides a dramatic "old-meets-new" contrast. The reverse is professionally finished with a kraft paper dust cover, felt wall bumpers, and heavy-duty hanging wire, making it ready for immediate gallery display. Dimensions: Frame: 14.5" W x 17.5" H Art (Sight): 10.5" W x 13.5" H Provenance: From a private estate. Steve LeBailly was a prolific Northwest artist whose multi-decade career was defined by a deep exploration of botanical, historical, and spiritual themes. This 2005 piece represents his later, more stylized period. Condition: Excellent Vintage Condition. This 2005 piece is exceptionally well-preserved, featuring bold, unfaded pigments and clean paper support. The surface is free of foxing or staining. The ornate gold frame is structurally sound and professionally backed, showing only minimal, age-appropriate surface wear to the gilding. With its unique modern-graphic sensibility and grand ornate framing, this signed original is an ideal focal point for an eclectic gallery wall or a sophisticated contemporary interior.
