Sorry for the lack of updates, my schedule has been, well, crazy to say the least. Last week of classes, papers, online discussions, and finals are next week. So I apologize.
Today I'd like to introduce an artist whose works I'm very fond of. Her name is Alice Neel! I'm sure many of you have heard of her before; she's a famous portrait painter. She's been painting for a very long time, since at least the 1920's.
This is a painting of Andy Warhol done in oil paint measuring 60 inches by 40 inches:

This was painted in the 70's, as you can also tell because Warhol looks aged; we all know he died in 1987. I love Neel's style and use of line. She also uses oils in a very unique way. I almost would have guessed that this was done in watercolor if I had not known.
This is another painting that I really enjoy, titled Hartley, oil on canvas and painted in 1965, measuring 50 inches by 36 inches.
I just love her paintings so much and I don't know why but I do!
