"The Artist's Corner..."

"Sign of the Times"

Oil on canvas

Cecilia Cardiff

What I Like About This: All the elements come together in this painting to garner my appreciation of it. Firstly, it's of one of my favorite subject genres, waiters and servers. I really like the way the artist has captured motion in this work, the subject is in mid-stride and his attention is attracted to something in the background adding interest to the scene. Finally, the coloring and brushwork is lively and bold without being garish. All taken together, this is a work that is pleasing to the eyes and which magically evokes memories of a place you've never been, what more could be asked of the artist.
