“When The News Came” - oil painting


Here’s another older piece, that I still have.  This one is not very cheery, but tells a story.  The title is “When the News Came.”  I painted this after a good friend of mine lost her brother to a lengthy battle with cancer.  She was devastated, and I wanted to capture that moment when things happen and all you can do is take them in and try to get through it.  So I set this up and painted it.  I think the posture of the figure is about right.  I was especially happy with little things, like the shadows on the chair.  Anyway, this is a 16×20 and is at the studio.  If you are interested, come by or contact me.  jcannon1@bellsouth.net
