Unseen Oarsman
Each artist stroke created an illusion of depth, color, and placement by contasting colors,
lights and darks the picture comes alive...A life that carries on into hearts and minds as long
as that picture lives...It seems as though one know this person through the eyes of the
artist...In pictures where one knows just knows that someone else is there...One's
imagination can run wild with ideas of who this person is and what relationship to others in
the painting...As in "Summertime" 1894-1895 Mary Cassatt (1845-1926) Oil on Canvas..Who
is rowing the boat? He must really love this lovely delicate woman and precious child to row
the boat for their enjoyment...He must look at her with eyes of love that says I would do
anything for you even lay down my life if necessary..
