An artist that relates to teh work that i have been doing is Balthus. he is famous for doing portraits. He is a french painter that was born in 1901. most of his work constists of paintings of people in differnt angles. this is intersting to me because the positions that the people are in are difficlut to paint. these images are also bold. he also uses color in a way that really enchances the work. alot of the art doesnt have bold colors but there is alot of warmth in the paint that draws your eye to the people in the portrait and not the surroundings. Balthus died in Feburary 2001 at the age of 92.

it seems to me that balthus uses the figures almost as props to tell a story. how could that become part of the work you do?
i coulod use bolder colors or different comositions to make the painting more interesting. i could also use darker or brighter colors to portrfay a mood inthe painting making it feel more like a story.
