Dante's newest work. She assembled her four 24" x 24" pieces into a single 48" x 48" framed painting.
It's a step up for her. I applaud the progress.
She prefers to prominently feature her family in her art. Maybe it's something one does in the earlier phase, or maybe it's just natural all throughout the journey.
Rembrandt never tired of using himself and his family in his paintings over his entire life. Nor did he bother leaving his preferred hometown. Some artists can expertly distill so much from so little. They have plenty at hand. Others have a more restless character and like to travel, and explore. You have to be what you are.
I just finished a small sculpture, which I'll photograph later.
