This new piece is another visual obsession of mine - lines of people. When there are several figures in a composition, the challenge is to enjoy painting each individual but pay close attention to how they relate to each other - mostly with respect to proportions.
That's the tough part - especially given that we're all different heights and weights. It's truly a great exercise with figures.
Taken from the upper level in the American Art wing of the Art Institute of Chicago - where patrons frequently form a line to enter a special exhibition.

A beautiful piece with some real powerful figures.
Another great painting! Love the title, too!
Hi Karen! I am watching your paintings from the Art Institute and am wondering when I am going to see myself in one :)... I am a frequent visitor, recognize all the galleries in your paintings. The latest one, which is a wonderful painting, is all too familiar. I often draw in the Sculpture Garden just underneath and watch people waiting in a line above. The Tute is wonderful, isn't it?
Are you from Chicago?
