"Mother Superior"

12 x 12"
oil on masonite
sold


My good friends were in the Musee d'Orsay in Paris and captured these three young women looking at James Whistler's 'Arrangement in Grey & Black: The Artist's Mother' - most of us know it as 'Whistler's Mother'. I usually paint the figures head to toe - I do love the zoomed in view on this image with the different postures and clothing. Very fun to paint.

    Whistler, one of my favorites! VERY nice!
    I also like your self portrait. Self portraits give such wonderful insight into the working mind of the artist.
