Both women dressed in flowing fabrics - this scene is from the Art Institute of Chicago. I would surely appreciate someone out there helping me to identify this marble sculpture.

"Morning Market"

This may be a little odd for me - to leave out surroundings altogether but, visually speaking, the morning green market was filled with bright, blinding light - and that is what made me notice this woman most of all. So I chose to "spotlight" her, in my own way.

"Bare Back"

sold

Of all the hundreds of photographs I came home with - some stand out immediately and I'm anxious to paint those first. This young lady is one of those. There is an awkward elegance about her, mostly, it's the strong light on her bare back that is striking to me.
