Figure in the Window

- by Ben Walker

This week's theme: The Woman In The Window

Juliet, Rapunzel and Jezebel are three of the more famous women in the window. Literature and art have long delighted in placing women at these openings between what is hidden and what is there for all to see; between that which is held captive and the freedom of the world outside. Whether they peer out of seraglios, castles or suburban homes, women and windows are a combination of mystery, contrast and beauty that captures interest and holds attention.


Art: Figure in the Window  by Artist Ben Walker
This was my very first attempt at painting back in 2003. It's my version of a painting from Salvador Dali's Figure in the Window. It's painted with oil paints on 16" x 20" stretched canvas.
