Media: oil on canvas board
Size: 6x8 in
![]() SUNGLASSESNancy Herman6" x 8"oil on canvas board Okay what's going on here? In the last several paintings I have been trying something new. What I am thinking about with these new paintings (I began the series with Winter Porch) is, "what can I leave out in order to enhance the 'feel' of the subject". I am using juicy paint in solid areas, but that's another story. In this painting a girl appears in the chaos of shapes coming out of a station. She is wearing sunglasses against the sudden glare. I want to integrate the figure in the composition without losing it as a focal point. ![]() SUNGLASSESNancy Herman6" x 8"oil on canvas board Okay what's going on here?
