watercolor
This could be the cover for a mystery novel - very, very nice. Let's see, in the movie, I have would cast Humphry Bbogart and Lauren Bacall. We could call it "Murder on the Subway."
I'm getting ahead of myself!
This is really good Jan....love it.
Richard, you write the story, I will supply the cover. Thanks you guys
Ok --- well this woman gets onto the subway and suddenly takes off her...................... time for dinner.
Don't know how you did it -- you have so much texture like an oil painting -- all from a masterful use of watercolor. Great job.
Jan, Thanks for your comments on my page. Looking again at Lady on the Train you have created just the 'signs' and associations in this image that give rise to seeing something beyond (or within) the image itself. Here's what I replied to your comments about Dream Gate:
"A painting as a visual form of communication could simply be like the description in a tourist guide, just what's there, descriptive. And of course, realism in art is often just that, including, I'm afraid, many of my own paintings and drawings.
But if it is something like Yeats' poetry, dreams and associations and glipmses, ways of perceiving in things a symbol of other things, of other levels of reality, a place becomes a semiotic matrix, a whole complex of 'signs' in which the elements of the picture take on new levels of meaning, and our emotions may be stirred in ways not capable of being described in words or in literal images. That is why I respond deeply to the romantic realism of Wyeth but not the photorealism of Richard Estes."
