The Last Pose
watercolor 16x20" matted and framed
This watercolor done with liberal use of
charcoal outlining of the figure is, I
think, a very evocative piece. Is the
model sad, or is she only tired at the
end of her posing? Or does the pose
refer to more than just the posture of
the model? Some pictures are just
pictures, artists will say--done for the
sake of the composition, color, et
cetera. Others tell a story. This is one
of the latter, and as is often the case
in art, the story is for you, the beholder
to imagine.
