I love to draw and paint the human figure. I look for the character of the sitter or the person on the street or in the subway. I try to imagine their lives. The challenge is to portray the world on a two-dimensional surface. The paint,the line and the color are tools to interpret what I see.
This portrait is a young woman by a pool. The all-over blue color expresses a feeling of summer. I was struck by the pattern of the shadow cast by the chair.
