“I Call the Shots” is a bold and unapologetic small portrait painting that celebrates feminine confidence, self-trust, and personal power. Award-winning artist Shakia Harris uses palette knives to layer texture.
The heavily textured crimson dress is filled with movement, energy, and depth through thick impasto strokes in scarlet, warm rust, and deep cherry tones. The woman's stance communicates a quiet confidence.
