Kelly’s expressive brushwork and muted palette of earthy browns soft blues and deep greens create a harmonious interplay of shadow and form The bold dark silhouette of the chair contrasts beautifully against the textured background drawing the viewer’s eye to the fluidity of the figure’s pose The layering of paint and the use of soft gestural strokes add depth and movement to the composition evoking a timeless yet modernist aesthetic

Maureen Reclining - Original Oil Painting, Nude Female in Slippers, Lush Fabrics
By Andrew S. Conklin
Located in Chicago, IL
This classically painted nude model study demonstrates the artists understanding of the human figure. Surrounded by loosely painted lush fabrics, the model lies in a reclining position, her eyes closed, wearing only a pair of slippers. The quick, confident brush strokes in the background, combined with deft handling of paint in the figure combine to make this a painting for all time.
