Like her many figure paintings, "Woman Resting" depicts a nude figure in repose and echoes some of the same motifs: the diagonal lines through the composition, the emphasis that follows the lines of the figure and trails off, and the interior quiet sentiment. In this drawing we see what Griffin Thibodeaux can do with graphite. Her drawing uses simple line overall and only creates detail where it is warranted: in the face, where she uses crosshatching to render the face. If is a delicate balance of nude and portrait that holds this space and creates a quiet confidence that the space is safe and comfortable and one that emanates beauty.
