Two Amish women walking home in the afternoon were the inspiration for this painting because of their quiet demeanor and the relaxed feeling they evoked. I appreciated the simplicity of the moment, and tried to create a simple painting with the shapes, colors and composition. I wish I'd used a little more paint...I wonder if the spareness of the scene affected my use of paint.

Hi Janet! I love this painting. I love the Amish people. We owe so much to them in terms of innovation and art.
ReplyDeleteWonderful job, Janet - a beautifully simplified scene.
