Afternoon Rest by Frances Kuta


I've been working on a collection of Victorian paintings over the last 7 months....my show opens June 4th at Highland Art Center in Weaverville, Ca. I posed models in my studio in costume...it's been a challenge...and fun! This is the first time I've concentrated on a body of work with a theme in mind. It is interesting what develops along the way. This is one of my favorites. 12" x 16" oil on linen.

    What a beautiful piece. Love how you painted the
    figure so languidly as well as the dress and feeling of the room.
    Also love what's going on out the window!

    I don't think I've ever seen a red-green harmony as lovely as this

    Sounds as though it's been an incredible fun series. I'm envious!
    The shadows and lights in that white skirt are beautiful.
