Reclining Nude – Red
Art is a study in lines and angles…
Darks and lights…
Color and shade
Shadows …
But most of all … curves
Curves that draw the eye
to see something different
each time a piece of art
is viewed …
appreciated …
I love all types of art
Appreciate and collect it
A love that began early
in my life when I realized
that I could not produce
my own but was happy
to enjoy that of others
This piece makes me smile
with both its whimsy and
its seriousness
An eclectic abstract nude
that leads the eye to appreciate
the female body through
new eyes and the
elegance of curves…
lines…
angles…
planes…
all allow the viewer
to develop that personal
relationship with the piece
see something different
with each viewing
And…
attempt to get into
the artist’s mind for
the true meaning …
The art of my words
does not do justice
to the art and artist
of this piece
But …
to experience it over
and over gives
me new insight and
hopefully in time
new words for
better expression …
