Young Girl Reading
About this artwork
A young girl sits at a park on a late summer's day in August, lost in a story of a compelling book. The strong afternoon sunlight highlights her hair and back. I saw this girl sitting by the reflecting pool in Washington, DC, shares artist Faye Vander Veer. I wanted the painting to be about her, so I obscured surrounding details and kept the brushwork loose. What was her story, what was she reading?Ó
