Mary Jane Ansell

From a combination of good fortune and laziness, most of my content today comes from other art/design sites. I’m not ashamed to let others do my work for me. What I am ashamed of is how much I like the song stylings of Neil Diamond. But I like the oil paintings of Mary Jane Ansell only marginally less that Mr. Diamond’s profound works, so she must be pretty spectacular. Contrast should be the key word with her; contrast between the smooth background and sharper foreground subjects, contrast between the light and dark elements of her composition, and often the contrast of the subjects themselves with their simple clothing, but bright eyes/hair and non-sequitur symbolic objects. *insert clever remark about contrast* See, I told you I was lazy.
