Sight-lines

Once again I love your compositional command -- use of both the physical pose of the figure and the less tangible sight-lines, from the woman to the background painting to the dog and back to the woman. Everything on the canvas draws the eye in and encourages the viewer to move through the "narrative" of the painting.

There is a lot to learn by looking at this painting... thank you for posting it!
