Figurative Works Through the Years by Theresa Oats

Brian Musseig
18x24 oil on canvas

Human beings are fascinating to me because everyone has 
 their own personality and inner world. I work from life because
the passage of time invites a person to reside in the inner world of thoughts
and emotion.  Observing their body language and expression offers me a glimpse
into the beauty of their spirits.
