This romantic painting was realized from a compilation of six vintage photographs taken in the 1940’s. The title : Just the Way You Look Tonight was derived from a popular song of that same era. Here are the lyrics which certainly depict the scene: Some day, when I'm awfully low When the world is cold I will feel a glow just thinking of you And the way you look tonight You're lovely, with your smile so warm And your cheeks so soft There is nothing for me but to love you And the way you look tonight With each word your tenderness grows Tearing my fears apart And that laugh that wrinkles your nose Touches my foolish heart Lovely, never, ever change Keep that breathless charm Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love you Just the way you look tonight ...

ARTIST STATEMENT: I find myself reaching back to simpler times for artistic inspiration and ancestral curiosity. I began to collect vintage black and white photography, dating from the 1890's to the 1950's as inspiration for my paintings. To be part of my collection a photo needs to have a soulful appeal -compelling, yet, timeless in its depiction of life. It is important that the faces and candid moments frozen in time have a strong universal familiarity. No matter how interesting and different the clothes, hairstyles, architecture, apparent lifestyles, transportation and interior design appear -there must be this underlying familiarity. I often find color too enticing to the eye, overriding all my sensibilities. When color is eliminated great images and natural compositions jump out more easily. The black and whiteness of the photos frees me to consider the element of color separately. Although my collection only contains photographs of total strangers which rarely include any information concerning the subject matter, by the end of the painting process I feel as if I know this person or group of people intimately. Perhaps it is my sensitivity or intuition as an artist or maybe my many years as a teacher that helps reveal this understanding about the nameless subject. Perhaps the photo itself exudes something heartwarming. Whatever the reason, the photos and paintings inspired therefrom have become my treasures.
