New Painting in Virgin of The Mall Series

**Zman** · November 15th, 2006, 09:30 AM

This is a new one in the Mall Series for my solo show that opens in a few weeks. I wanted to change things up a bit in terms of the perspective of the viewer. Let me know what you think. About half of the paintings in the show can be seen on my website. If any of you live near NYC, please stop by and check it out.

She's not reflected in the mirror?

Nope. Supposed to be a spooky kind of David Lynch thing.

Hrm, on the mirror - seems a bit low key so it can probably be mistaken for... well a mistake? Better perhaps to make such a thing obvious?

Figure is really nicely rendered. Though, perhaps it's just me but it seems a bit odd not to see some light from the sky reflected on her skin, especially with her skintone.
