I really like the fact that this reading woman ended up outdoors rather than in her original setting indoors on a couch. The blobs in the background suggest flowers on some kind of structure.

In the earlier version of this painting, a large potted plant occupied the space to the left of the figure. I loved the woman but the plant crowded her and and even seemed threatening. It took a while for me to realize that I was uncomfortable - as was she. The new setting is peaceful and spacious, giving focus to the figure. As my friend and collector Dan Levine said: the background is the unsung hero.

This is a smaller version of a painting I did a while ago. I love the pose with its twist and somewhat architectural feel so I painted it again. PS The collector who purchased the larger version bought this one also and displays them together. She sent me a photo - I love the look!
