4x4 Oil on Ampersand Gessobord
Click HERE to bid on this painting.
This painting was done from a photograph of a young man reading in a hotel lobby.  He looked very comfortable and was totally engrossed in his book.  Thankfully, my camera did not break his concentration.  I decided to concentrate just on the shapes in the painting with as little detail as possible.  I am submitting to this week's Daily Paintworks Challenge.
