“One thing that I know about painting is that there are many ways to paint a figure. There are various moods, colors, shapes, edges, brushstrokes, and many small decisions that must be made in the process. In this series, several decisions were made in advance: Each figure is captured in a contemplative moment. Each one is painted in cool, neutral colors with occasional pops of red. Each painting has one or two sharp edges, so the images are suggested with very few shapes. Each subject is merging into the atmosphere. I hope that the work shows a respect for the value of individuals alone with their thoughts, with moody, peaceful contentment in the moment.” ~ Ann
