Description:

A solitary figure moves forward without recognition, anchored by internal resolve rather than applause.

The simplicity of this piece draws you in to appreciate all of the details. The use of diagonals with the rain helps to push us in the direction that she is walking, also making us aware of the use of positive and negative space within the composition. The space is forcing the eye to follow the direction of the action. Effective use of textures across a variety of pen strokes to differentiate elements. Having the figure off-center makes for a strong composition. The story is short and sweet. -Nancy O.
