It would never occur to you to ask, “what’s it supposed to be.” The painting tells you how it wants to be looked at and being looked at as an illustration is out. It’s not an illustration of anything, it’s something new. I love looking at this thing. I’ll skip the analysis and leave that up to you. Look at it and observe how your eye moves through it. That’s the analysis and no matter how clear your analysis, the pleasure of looking at this will remain fresh.
Painting by Pamela Habel, acrylic on canvas, 40” x 30.” This painting gives me particular pleasure because Pamela was new in my “What Would Mondrian Do?” class and she produced this lively painting after just a few weeks. Brava!!!
