A slight mishap in the garden this spring resulted in an injury to my ribs, and I started paying a lot of attention to this wondrous cage that protects our inner vulnerabilities. I did a photo session intended to explore the interior structure, thinking of a painting that would be missing some parts, focusing on the scaffold. But I got distracted by the glorious turns and contours of the flesh, and so instead of paring back to the anatomy in this painting, I took the body to completion. (And, my ribs are almost better now.)
As an accessible exhibition, the Annual International Representational Exhibition opened up to online-only submissions this year.

Oiseau, AFCA
Argenta, British Columbia
Oiseau lives and paints in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada. While she focuses primarily on portraiture and the figure, plein air landscape painting is also an important part of her practice and inspiration.
"In painting as in life, whatever distance you travel just opens up further vistas for exploration. Subtleties, bold statements, complexities of relationships, colour, colour, colour. I wish I could paint forever!"
