Part technical exercise and part personal reflection, Study in You was painted as the artist’s daughter prepared to leave for another year of college. Its title carries several meanings: a study in oil painting, a study of light and form, and a study of a beloved daughter who has long served as a favorite muse. The portrait captures a moment of affection and admiration as the relationship between parent and child begins evolving into one between two adults.
