Whistler's Grandmother. Well done, colors complement each other very well.

I am just a...tribute?

I may like this better!

...and that ain't Tonalism, either, bay-bay!!!

Not in the classic sense, anyway. The palette comes close. Love your knife work here! A beauty.

Whoever she is she’s in an intriguing setting! I like the abstracted shapes and the colors too.

Thank you Sno, EJH, Ayin, Terri, and Donna

thanks Katie and John for the tag along.

Well now. I ain't Whistler's Mother and neither is the painting. But I had hoped it might remind them if they had dwelt on the original. It is not a copy of the painting either as it is simply an expression of imagination influenced by the painting of Whistler's mother. Hope that clears it up. I remember looking at the original painting and wondering what the heck is Tonalism? It can't all come from one color without the influence of other colors: can it?
