Observation – 12 x 12 Oils on Canvas by Jennie Rosenbaum

This piece came from a response to an email from a friend of mine. he suggested that a top down approach would be really interesting and I remembered that I had tried it a few times but always failed to get the right impression. I really think I tagged it here. it’s dark but has a sense of optimism to it it’s asking for acceptance. it was a real challenge to paint, the perspective and changing light making things difficult but I think there is a rightness and honesty to it that is very interesting. I am really enjoying seeing where these smaller pieces go. This was the piece that I started last week. it has not distinct top or bottom, the mood actually changes if you move it around which is kind of neat!
