Alice's Window


Alice's Window is a 24" by 30" oil painting on panel.

Alice's Window is the first reflection study I did. It is an oil on panel and is a self-portrait looking into an antique store window. The bedroom setting included a mirror; so I worked the angle to include a reflection in the mirror as well as in the window glass. I liked the patterns of the Buckhorn Bar reflection from across the street. I like including figures in my work when they seem to fit, and I am always a convenient model.

I find the fragmentation and overlapping of images in reflections really interesting. The naturally-occurring abstractions of reality pique my curiosity.
