ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Description: This is a pastel painting of a figure on a beach in Maine. I was intrigued by the brilliant Maine light and how the figure played against the collisions of patterns on the towels in the foreground. I was also attracted to the deep space and the tension between the tranquility of the figure and the interactions of forms and people around her. The Rembrandt paintings of Bathsheba inspired me. Rembrandt's Bathsheba was bathing at a water pool and was seductive. This Bathsheba is in open, brilliant daylight. Both women are attractive and King David would have been drawn to either. Medium: Pastel on PaperYear Created: 2006

Born 1954 in Weisbaden, GermanyI have been an artist for over 30 years. I have been a portrait painter for most of my art career. I have painted business leaders such as the posthumus portrait of L.L. Bean for the L.L. Bean Company in Freeport, Maine, Marvin Sadik, the former director of the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. and the late philanthropist Elizabeth Noyce for her private collection. I have painted multitudes of children portraits throughout the years. I am now painting landscapes in oils and pastels and exhibiting my work in the Northeast of the USA.
