Jean Richardson

Bold and Beautiful Jean Richardson

Oil on Canvas 24" x 30" $600

My work often reflects groups of women at work or in family gatherings. I have studied realist figure painting for many years, but this painting is an abstraction of the forms of the women and children. The theme of this series of works is women helping women and women in community.

Dream the Future Jean Richardson

Oil on Canvas 24" x 24" $600

This is a painting of a woman at the end of a day’s work and reflecting on her future. The sketchy background and clothing puts the focus on her pensive but optimistic facial expression. I have studied portraiture and want the viewer to see a person with a personal story and specific personality.

Seven Lovely Daughters Jean Richardson

Oil on Canvas 18" x 36" $600

This painting is a playful interpretation of a family portrait. The image depicts, in an abstract form, seven lovely daughters and the mother somewhat wrapped in her red cloak. The daughters, however, are a free spirited lot, with flagrant disregard for social conventions. While I have studied realist figure painting for many years, this abstraction of this family is humorous and lively.
