Circling the Square

The vulnerability of the curled up, circular nude figure within the square certainly sprang from a difficult time we all lived through, the year 2020. Painted with acrylics with many soft, thin layers over a charcoal sketch over the course of one of many particularly trying days during the pandemic, the artist alone in the studio, connecting with a person that is only present on the canvas of her picture. The color surrounding the lone figure in the square is a metallic lilac, so it shines gently when you view the picture from various angles.
