Francoise Nielly: Painting: Rebecca

Observations:
1.     Uses only black, whites, and a bit of red
2.     Looks like oil paint
3.     A painting of a women
4.     One of the artist’s only painting done in black and white
5.     Soft, rough, small big brush strokes
6.     Palette knife technique used
            Inferences:
1.     Maybe her work expresses how she sees others
2.     There must be a story behind why, “Rebecca”, is in black and white, and all the other paintings are very bright and colorful.
            Interpretations:
1.     Rebecca’s sad history/background
2.     Nielly uses unrealistic colors for her subject
3.     White can represent how pale, or cold Rebecca is as a person or physically
4.     Used a knife, rather then a brush to do this painting. Maybe the shows that Rebecca’s personality isn’t so soft and smooth
5.     possibly represent blood
