One of my favorite artists is without a doubt Abbott Handerson Thayer. While viewing his work I’m absorbed by the purity of his subject matter with there serious facial expressions . I find his subtle palette soothing to the eye and I feel an underlining sadness from his own personal loss coming through into his work. Today after viewing some of his work at the Smithsonian American Art Museum on line. I decided to do a quick 18" x 24"sketch of one of my favorites called the virgin. I would like to try my hand at an oil painting one day. Perhaps over the winter I’ll give it a shot .
