Oil on Linen

True Shadow Frame

This piece was painted from memory of my usual laundry lady, but she is neglecting her work and reading. Something I do all the time. I would rather have a good book going than just about anything. The color variant in the white paint is what inspires me and the black of her dress for contrast. She is who I paint when I am relaxing and thinking of what to paint and many times I think these end up being my best works. No giving myself pressure, ever, when I paint her. She just comes naturally.
