myra anderson - in search of figurative expressionism ' another red umbrella' - and artist linda christensen . . .

another red umbrella by myra anderson

This is a work in progress.  I smoothed the grass and sky with a damp paper towel and I painted the figure and the umbrella with my fingers.  Only when I began to paint the hair did I pick up a brush.

This painting by Linda Christensen is truly expressive!  Figurative expressionism is colorful and textural.  The expressionist painter  merely 'looks at the figure' and then turns their attention to the canvas.
