Twin Windows and Chairs, 9 x 12, Ron Donoughe

This is part of my Johnstown series. I was taken by the twin windows and chairs, not to mention the twin shadow slices. Sometimes the most mundane setting can be a piece of art. Degas once said, "Art is not what you see, but what you make others see".

My painting Blue Awning was just used for this book cover, Emily, Alone. The novel, which is set in Pittsburgh, has received good reviews. Here is the link, Emily, Alone, Penguin Books

I love, love, love that quick and very inspired painting of twin things. Also the book cover- so clean and clear a design, so attention-getting (appropriately so!) and makes you immediately want to think about the lives that go on in that house.
