Reading by Aladdin Lamp
Oil on Linen, 20" x 30"
This is another recent interior with two figures. I created this composition from several old photos of my husband and brother as they looked about 25 years ago! At the time I thought they would make a good painting somehow, but I couldn't figure out how to put them together and I didn't have much skill with filling out the missing color and value information in photos, so I kept them in the family albums. This time, the lamp is the focal point. As with the other digital image, I'm disappointed in the overly high contrast and the lack of color in the light areas. In reality the lamp has some interesting variation in paint texture and color, and so do the faces in the light. Maybe I should try to get my slides scanned. But in the meantime, I thought I would share this with you just so you can see I have not been goofing off.
