Thanks Lynne for your compliments, she's one of my favorites. My "Mentor" referred to her as Modgliani like, which thrilled me to no end.

I love your use of colors and expession, but she looks puzzled and sad. Look forward to your next one. maryannstandbackart.

Artist Statement
for maryannstandbackart(c)
maryannstandbackart(c)My love of art began in 1947, when I was first introduced to the "Berlin Masterpieces", at the St Louis Museum of Art. Then 2 1/2 years of Art History classes gave me the real insight of art, from Leonardo to Jean-Michel Bisquiat. I love them all,and have been fortunate to have travelled to museums world wide to feed my passion.I am currently reduced to monthly museum and Art Show fixes, locally, which is not a problem, as our Sacramento and Placer County area Artists are more than capable of sufficiently feeding the "Passion". In the past I have been involved in the Silicon Valley art scene, and studied there with various oil Instructors in Cupertino and Saratoga.
I also served as Art Chair for the Rocklin Friends of the Library, and was co-founder and President of Rocklin Fine Arts.
I currently am continuing my Pastel, Oil and Collage works and am now dabbling into acrylics and watercolors.
So much more to discover in this wide world of ART!
