Nurses acrylic on paper 22x24 SOLD
I came across an image of a group of 13 nurses in training during the 40's. Made me think of all the nurses we have and have had in our family. We have oodles. Formally, there are a lot of rhythms set up in this image that made my eye dance. My hat's off to the original photographer who snapped this one. Couldn't find the person's name, but they really captured all the conformity in the room - "soup-to-nuts," as my mother (once a nurse herself) would say. I took this pic with my phone, so it's not the highest quality, but you get the idea. As might be noticed, I've taken certain liberties with the original image in order to add certain tensions. Perhaps they'll appear in a slow read of the image. That's the hope anyway.
