Image essay #6
Lena Cronqvist’s self portrait with hand puppets and cloud is a very strange painting. There is little color, though the colors that there are in the painting are vibrant. The detail on the face and expression are phenomenal. I don’t think that the painting is as good as it can be though. The juxtaposition of the figure in the center could be more interesting as well as the background. The background just to me doesn’t show the skill of the artist, as if she rushed to finish the painting.
