Special Edition: One Sister Hicks







Craft: Oil on canvas with a touch/touches of crayon,charcoal, and or paste. Being a painter I am sure that she started from the back and moved to the front. That is she might have did a very light and fast sketch with charcoal then begin to paint with light thin paint full of thinner, then added a lot of paint. She really used paint as paint in this particular piece of work.



Concept: Looking out side her winder in the convent in the winter. This painting is simply a Chicago winter, as Sister Hicks looks out of her window. I heard this from on of her, I am getting good friends, as they looked at the painting with me.



Composition: This tree had to be a tree she had seen many times. I say this because it is the main focus of here painting. Even thought you can see the buildings in the back and the cars all around fount, it is the tree that really stands out.
