Artist's Statement about this work
I painted this in my "Practice Sketchbook". I spent the day in the Museo d' Orsay not only looking at the incredible artwork, but watching people as they viewed the art. Some people seemed more interested in documenting for social media that they had seen a famous work of art, quickly taking a selfie in front of it and not really even looking at it before moving on to the next famous piece. Generally, these people just walked past other beautiful, though lesser known, works of art. Others, like this woman, spent long spans of time carefully contemplating each work in front of them.
