Making connections
Oil on wood panel 8" x 8" This painting has been sold
Painters enjoy this tremendous privilege of being able to make beautiful that which is by “external standards” perhaps failing on some points. This young lady did not conform to the external standard “thin is beautiful” and yet when the sun fell on her she was transformed into a most wonderful icon of seventeenth century perfection. There she is, in her modern T shirt and jeans, reading her text messages, and in the background the art dealers, the person in touch with the miracle.

Simple and beautiful, your figurative work.
Thank you Linny. This young lady was so nice to paint.
Nice, Sheila. I like the figure placement and the direct handling of paint...and the great light!
Thanks Don, maybe I'll do some more figure work. I really enjoy the challenges it brings.
Beautiful, Sheila, and great design.
I thought of Vermeer when I looked at this. Very nice!
Thank you Connie and Camille. I am glad you like this one; it was wonderful to paint.
