An original oil painting on board by J.E. Baines, dated 1968, capturing the essence of 1960s fashion and flair. The subject — a striking woman with a dramatic beehive hairdo streaked with teal — gazes off against an expressive background of painterly blues and graphic bare branches. Her red lips and tailored collar evoke the bold, mod aesthetic of the era.

Executed in oil on hardboard, the composition balances figuration with stylized linework and punchy, saturated color. Signed and dated in the bottom right corner, this work reflects the visual confidence of outsider or folk portraiture with a unique midcentury sensibility.

A small but high-impact piece that pairs beautifully with vintage decor, gallery walls, or other pop-era art. Great for collectors of folk art, retro portraiture, or 1960s design ephemera.
