In the Luxembourg Gardens
Oil on linen, 9″ x 12″, 2015
The setting is the Luxembourg Gardens, in Paris. Two women are in conversation, taking in the view of the Palace. The composition is based on the repetition of the yellow in the Palace, in the woman’s jacket, then in the ground. The grey/blue is repeated in the sky, flowers, and shadows in the ground. The red flowers contrast with the green lawn and green chairs. The random placement of the chairs contrasts with the order in the rest of the composition.
