Oil on museum quality Ampersand Gessobord panel - 7" x 10"
Quite a title, eh. I was trying to outdo Turner for longest title. His "Snowstorm - steam boat off a harbor's mouth making signals in shallow water, and going by the lead." has been imbedded in my brain since Studio class back in '69. Each week our instructor, Charles Wagner, enlightened us with what he called "The story behind the painting," the back story of various famous paintings through the ages. But I digress. This month was my turn to pick the theme and I chose Chiaroscuro. This sketchy little study isn't quite as I had envisioned it in my mind when I chose the challenge. I was hoping for more Caravaggio and less Lautrec (I should be so good).
Here are my fellow challenge artists work:
"Basque Dancer"
