This painting is based on a vintage photo of a librarian looking out the window of a traveling library. I grew up in a small town where the occasional visit from the bookmobile was very exciting. The bookmobile would park outside the school. When I climbed up the steps into the bookmobile I smelled the many books, and a world of possibility. In this painting I made the books very fluid and active. The books represent everything going on in the librarian’s imagination as she gazes out the window to a very quiet landscape. The painting is made up of many thin layers of oil paint over oil primed linen. The linen is gallery wrapped around heavy duty stretcher bars.
