Oil on Boars

Maple shadow Frame

No matter what else, it has been the year of the woman. Being one, myself, it has been a good year to be an artist. It has shown through in my artwork, always in ways that are not planned, and certainly not in any political way, but the women have been landing on canvases and they look to be pretty comfortable there. At any rate, not on purpose, but I don’t think you can be alive creating right now without some kind of contemporary news and happening creeping into your artwork. She is definitely empowered. As it should be.

This painting is from a series of the former laundry lady who is walking her dog and window shopping. She has left the laundry behind for the moment and is wearing a very smart suit but not without her pink handbag.
