Contemporary Figurative Paintings

Artist Martina Shapiro

**SOLD to OR, USA.** **"Woman Resting in Chair", original painting,**
painted in ink and acrylic paint on heavy weight, acid free watercolor paper, size 15 x 20 inches (38cm x 51cm).

This woman is relaxed, dozing off in a chair. The painting has a strong presence and some of the ease and immediacy of French Impressionism but with a modern edge. It is a very striking painting/drawing. The ink line drawing is spontaneous and raw and very expressive. The acrylic paint is bright and vibrant and gives the painting texture. The heavy weight paper shows through in many places providing additional texture and interest. This painting is on paper so you will have to have it framed (it is sold without a frame). You can get quite a different 'look' with different frames - see some examples below.
