Conversation (Nan and La)
Oil on linen, 18" x 26"
I've been working on a bunch of landscapes and figurative work for months. That's why I haven't posted any portraits. But here is the first of a couple of small interiors exploring the theme of two figures in a composition. In this one, I've intended to make Nan the focal point by shifting her towards the center and making La more peripheral. I'm a little disappointed in these images--the real thing is not nearly so contrasty and washed out in the lights. Also, La's dark hair has a lot of variation in the shadow. Oh, well! But you can get some idea of what it looks like.
