Oak Balls and Flowers, I

Nell Blaine · 1972 · pen and black ink with wash on wove paper ·  Accession ID  2015.19.2706

A woman with peach-colored skin wearing a floppy hat covering most of her face, a sleeveless shirt, and a skirt sits facing our right in profile against a background of vivid pineapple yellow streaked with olive green in this nearly square painting. The scene is loosely painted with broad, visible brushstrokes throughout, especially in the yellow background. The woman’s brimmed, dark taupe hat comes down to her pointed nose. Her lips seem closed and a band of brown suggests chin-length hair. She leans back in the chair and rests her arms along its thin, black arms. She holds a glass in her right hand, closer to us. Her tank top is cobalt blue and her skirt, which comes almost to her knees, is carnation pink. Her left leg is crossed over her right, and her ankles and feet are cropped by the bottom edge of the canvas. The yellow background behind her has royal-blue lines near the edges of the canvas to the left and right.
