Street Lamp by Rachel K Schlueter

Oil on 11.5"x6"panel, this original painting is from a photo by my son, Tyson Ritter, of his lovely wife Mollyanne. Working from Tyson's photos is always exciting and I have permission to paint what ever I wish! Mollyanne is a wonderful young woman who knows how to model. I look forward to many more paintings from the source material of this dynamic duo.

  1. I like how your design and how the vertical format creates drama. The background area that at once your eye knows is behind yet makes me take a double take because it
    appears tucked in her bent arm is such a beautifully
    placed visual(or perceptual) dichotomy!

  5. It's almost a double square! I love this dimension; it makes everything interesting. Of course, you had a marvelous photo to work from and your composition (with that gentle curve of light behind her) is wonderful.

  7. Thank you for your comments they are greatly appreciated, I just completed the large painting from this posted study, I eliminated much of color and the affect is dramatic, check out my website if you are interested in seeing the larger painting.
