About the Item
Provenance
Acquired by the gallery directly from the artist.
Description
The artist portrays his wife, Gloria, in an elegant and refined setting. Her sinuous pose and assured profile project a sense of beauty and confidence. The drape of her pink silk robe hearkens back to her Chinese ancestry and its contrasting embroidered border creates a diagonal line that exudes a feeling of strength. Outside is cool and fresh, the beginning of spring; and the Glimpse of Beauty is viewed from either side of the window.
Artist Statement
"A Chinese lady looking out of her window enjoying the magnolia blossom in Spring. Her window is decorated with a piece of Paper Cutting art. Because of its affordability, paper-cutting became one of the most important types of Chinese folk art. the cut-outs are often used to decorate doors and windows."

- SlumberBy Teresa OaxacaLocated in Pasadena, CAProvenance Acquired by the gallery directly from the artist Artist Statement “The 19th century painter Anders Zorn was a big influence for me on this work. I was looking at his 'Dance in Gopsmor Cottage' while painting, and trying to limit myself to brushes no small than an 8. I am quite satisfied with the light effect I achieved. As you can see I really boosted up the highlight on those stockings! It was a case where the sun had streamed in through an east light window (unwelcome at the time), rendering the model's legs impossibly bright. I've used a very thick impasto and even some cadmium lemon to try and convey the impression of light I was seeing. While executing this painting it occurred to me that this was the kind of unusual lighting...Category
