people have been asking what my inspirations are. this would be up there- i try to replicate the feel i get from this piece with each one of my paintings, but in my own little way. that this inanimate lady, suspended in time, is sitting there, caring for you and looking out for you. all the time.
this is the artwork that hung over my bed when i was small.
this piece is by alphonse mucha, who was czech, but worked in paris as in illustrator/lithographer for the metro posters and advertisements of the time. he made a window in the amazing St. Vitus cathedral in prague, where his museum also resides. I wish there were good pictures of the stained glass, but it does not seem to be that way.
later, i painted to bring things nearer to me that were far away, when i moved to college here in sanfrancisco, i painted my sister and i together in this need for us to be close. i would say that would be the second biggest point of departure. i'll have to find that piece and post it. it's around.
