A candid personal portrait of the artist's wife sewing. The work was once exhibited at a San Antonio gallery where it was purchased (unbenownst to Dan or his wife, Ellen), by Ellen's mother, where it was displayed until her passing many years later. It was willed to Ellen so it now resides in the artist's home but the original is not for sale.
A candid personal portrait of the artist's wife sewing. The original was exhibited at the National Arts Club in downtown NYC in 1984 in the annual Pastel Artists of America juried show.
A single-figure portrait of a woman bent forward in concentration, working with her hands. The figure is lit from behind and slightly above by a cool, window-like rectangle; warm rim light sculpts the face, neck and hands against a dark, muted background. The palette is restrained—deep greens and blacks, warm flesh tones and a luminous yellow-green from the window. The pose is intimate and focused; tactile details (fingers, fabric) are given careful attention.
