Girl in WIndow 1

- by Caite Bonsey

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.

I was driving down Sunset one evening and saw this woman leaning out of a window of a redbrick building. The image stayed with me. I painted this in one inspired afternoon.
