Oil and Pastel Paintings


"Dance School" Pastel Pencil over Watercolor

Can you sense the mystery in this painting? Who is the woman in the window? I love to let the viewer fill in the blanks. You are invited to put your own spin on it.

The strong architectural elements in the painting sets the tone. The curve of the window, brick and concrete slabs all add to the perspective. The limited palette of color unifies the composition. Your eye goes into the window, gravitating to the back of the studio and seeing the woman in the window.
