Wayne Tiebaud

Day 23 and I don't want this challenge to end without including the masterful American painter Wayne Tiebaud. Born in 1920 and living in San Francisco, I have been a fan of his for ages and this painting from 1974, The Yellow Dress has long been a favorite! I love the touches of orange and that blue shadow is so striking. I hope I did the painting justice, especially since I had to crop the bottom of the dress for my format!
Tiebauds' painting is oil and charcoal on paper. Exquisite!
