Rose oil on canvas 40" x 30" July 2009
Detail of Rose
This work was included in the Alumni Show that just ended at the University of South Dakota. I think I started this painting around 2003 or 2004. The figure was pretty well done in one session, and the background was also done quite quickly. But I never felt sure about it being complete. This year, as I looked at it again, I refined the hands, feet and hair a bit more. I also reworked the blouse, removing some yellow highlights that I had on the shoulders.

I like how the shadow is the shape of a lotus and how she looks like she is basking in an unseen light. Ethereal.
