Color Pencil – 16.5″ x 10.5″
A surreal color pencil drawing of a woman with her eyes closed. She hugs herself and peers inward. The quiet mood of “Close Your Eyes, So You Might See” is enhanced by the soft colors, the faint light on her face and her pose. I am exploring new ways to abstract and complicate the figure by overlapping two figures..The overall effect of using different figures as the subject allows me the freedom to experiment with the compositional structure and play with space. Using multiple figures also adds a new layer to the psychological impact of the piece and surprises come into view.
