Stasha Dean in ‘Giant’ 2013

Felice House’s 2013 painting, “Stasha Dean in ‘Giant’”, depicts a woman leaning against a classic car, holding a shotgun. The woman is wearing a plaid shirt, blue jeans, and cowboy boots, suggesting a connection to the American West. The painting’s realistic style and muted color palette create a sense of realism and evoke a sense of Americana. The composition highlights the woman as the central figure, while the car and the shotgun serve as symbolic props. The painting's title suggests a connection to the 1956 film "Giant," a film that explored themes of power, family, and the changing American West.
