Finished This One

Yesterday I finished this painting, a new one for my Sylvia series. The whole series can be seen at my other website, www.lauriesartwork.com.

I like this one because I am a Mom, and it's fun to see Sylvia come across child mannequins. Obviously, she cannot be a real mom, but I like having her seem to be confronted with the idea. Would she be sad? Happy? Who knows?

I painted her and her dress in brighter, warmer tones, and kept everything in the window in cool tones to exaggerate the separation between them.
